Partying hard in the Alps!!!

[Domski]

Is anyone making the most of the snow in Europe this year???

I've got 7 days before I head over to Mayrhofen in Austria for the first time and thoroughly looking forward to it.

According to the forecasts it's looking like there's going to be some serious powder this year and truly cannot wait! Lass I'm going with has made me promise I won't ski and stick to the board so she can keep up and that's totally fair if not a little unmad!!!

Bring it on anyway...

Domski!!!!

 

[Smitty]

You useless bastard!

I'll be in Seattle and won't get to take our annual trip to the fresh stuff in Crested Butte, Colorado (although I did get in one ice climbing trip), and the wife didn't get her passport in time to head to Whistler/Blackcomb. (AAARHGH!)

As for not skiing Dom, what're you doing hooking up with a knuckle-dragger anyway? Oh, I get it...It's all about the positioning... <EG>

Telemark's the way to go.

Telemark's the way to go. :wink:

I was a full on nutter in the past but the guys who I used to shred the mountains with (Tignes, Chamonix, Vak d'Isere, Les Arcs, Megeve and Les Plans) have all got married and it's not my fault then new folk all like to slide down on one plank!!!!

I've spent today purchasing a funky new NF jacket after the magnet fell off my last one. Goddam let's hope they'll see me coming anyway!!!

The forecasr for Mayrhofen is powder, powder, powder, powder, powder, powder, powder for the next week!!!!

Here's hoping the blue skies come out as well!!!

Oh Yeah!!!!<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

As for telemarking some of the guys I used to race with were into that and it is totally beyond my skill level!!!

I was in Morzine at the end of Jan and we had white outs 3 of the 7 days and the others were pretty poor as well.

Sadly because of the standard we are (rubbish) the weather had more effect than on 'Super Users'

Hope you have a great time though!

Oy! There's nothing wrong with boarding!!!

 

[Domski]

Oy! There's nothing wrong with boarding!!!

I agree but I do have far more fun on a pair of skis. Last year we had a skier with us and I did half and half, the first time I've not boarded 100% for four years and it was so good to get back on them.

I'm still wondering whether Smitty meant to call me a "useless bastard!" or whether he really meant utter.

I must admit I was wondering where the 'useless' came from - it was about the one phrase I could actually understand in the entire thread (have never skiied and no particular desire to do so, being old and boring)!

 

[Jon von der Heyden]

Rich, you on ski's would be a danger to everyone on the slope (esp. those at the bottom)...

Now, you better go get some Golf lessons. Ed is aching for a game now that the weather is improving.

He wouldn't be the first person to call me it and I'm sure he won't be the last!

You should give it a go. One of my friends didn't start until he was 35 and has just come back from taking his kids for the first time.
