The foreign politics section of my local paper rarely lets me down.

Excellent TR. Gulmarg is now on my short-list of places I need to visit before I die.

Going through all 69 pages left me with a mix of dizziness and severe gear envy.

What about Mojo 15s? No personal experience, but a couple of my friends have them and I haven't heard a bad word yet. Seems fairly light.

I really loved a pair of Stöckli Asteroids. My first proper skis, bought with my own money, and the airline lost them after about 1 1/2 seasons. Another favourite was the 194 Bigs. I had the ones...

I suppose it could also be a first year 186 cm LP. It had the same graphics as the 194 cm, but with the new dimensions.

Yes, it's just awful. I read a short interview with one of the two surgeons that have/will perform the operation. He said the reason was that virtually every artery had been completely torn apart and...

He who dies with the most toys, wins.

I've only been to St. Anton once. I stayed at "Haus Anton Schrantz" just outside town. They only had like 3 or 4 double rooms, but it was fairly inexpensive compared to some of the other places we...

This is what I usually buy. Easily among my all time top 5 malts and not really that pricey.

I also find myself buying...

I had a pair of the all black ones (03/04) and used chinese wood oil, the kind you'd use on wooden garden furniture. Never had any problems, but then again I live in a coastal area with much more...

Have you looked at Atomic's boots? I have wide feet, a fairly high arch, and long big toes. Pretty much any boot made in France or Italy feels like it's designed for a different species. The Atomic...

I haven't fondled the Sanouks, but I've always thought the "I" on the sidewall would be more precise than a line integrated in the top sheet graphics, at least on traditional sandwich construction...

They do. When I found my ski after a crash I saw that the toe piece had released upwards. At first I thought I'd broken the binding, but it snapped right back.

I really like the Geze toe and I've got two pairs of the 180 pros. It feels like the release is smoother than on the new P15/P18 bindings, which aren't bad at all, but it could just be my...

It can fuck up data storage devices (I don't know if any of the transceivers out there store data or have some sort of BIOS), but other than that, the magnetic field has to induce a current strong...

Awesome TR. Thank you.

Tanqueray is my favourite gin so far. More taste than Bombay Sapphire, which is also a nice one. I rarely bother with the ice though. Too much work :)

I was really impressed by the level of dicipline he showed. The second he realized that he wouldn't be able to keep up with Simoni, he sat back down on the seat and tried to find his own pace. Cunego...

That stage was insane. They were down to 7-8 km/h in the steepest section! :eek: Simoni won, but only managed to gain 15-16 seconds on Di Luca, and so Di Luca will win The Giro for sure now. I was...

Anyone else following Giro d'Italia here? Today is the definitive high point of the race. The stage isn't that long, but the finish is on top of Monte Zoncolan. This mountain has only been part of...

Yes, I think they made the brake arms longer when plates became common in WC races. The old ones are still long enough to work reasonably well when bent to fit a 100-105 mm waisted ski.

Attack ducks ain't got nothing on pelicans.

You'll find all the episodes here. Some of the older links might be dead, but they're pretty good at digging up new ones when that happens.

True. And they probably won't cost that much either.

You did like the Mojo 90, which, as far as I recall, is one of the stiffest Pocket Rocket-ish twins out there, so I don't think the 186 LP would be too much for you. Going with a ski that's a little...

I just came across this gem at PokerStars.

The story:
This was the 10 billionth hand in the site's history and every single one of the players at that table was guaranteed at least $10,000 (and...

Trying to kill some time online, I found this thread, and realized I am not the only one mourning the Explosive. If this ski was to be made again, I'd easily buy two pairs of 190s. We should go for...

Excellent TR! God, I envy those of you who still have snow.

Oooh, the rooster is back on the tips :D

Salomon went from screwing those plastic tabs on to riveting them somewhere between the 997 and the current S916/920. The tabs are the same, but if they are riveted to your S916s, you'll have to use...

JP vs. Julien, I think. It seems like a great deal.

If everything else fails Rossignol/Look will sell you a complete baseplate (everything from the adjustable rods and down).

I should be able to scrape together enough money til the beginning of July. It seems I simply have to. :) I saw that the website only lists the 202 cm 138s and the 200 cm 120s in a flex 2. Will that...

If nobody closer to you can help you out, I can. If you're not in a rush, that is. I have a couple of those at my grandparents old house, after I slaughtered some old FKS bindings to get spare parts...

Wood. You'll love them.

Birdos 11s have been around for a while. This must be their 3rd or 4th season, I think. A buddy has the 195 cm with fiberglass and loves them. He has freakishly large feet though, so I haven't been...

I care. The French share their problems with most countries in western Europe, and in my view, it largely boils down to demographics. The situation in France (along with Holland and Sweden) is the...

No, sorry. I've looked around for for something from last years ISPO, but couldn't find anything besides this picture. I do recall that the length was 192 cm, and that it had much less sidecut than...

I thought they went bancrupt last summer. They had a couple of exciting new models coming though; a stiffer-than-a-squad traditional fat ski and a pretty fat twin.

SiSt, what software are you using? If I can find something to use - either free or "free" - I might join your contest. :)

Somehow I got the feeling that Paint won't cut it.

Debt collector?

This morning there was a really nasty fart smell covering most of the western coast of Norway. It lasted all morning here in Bergen, and it covered the entire city. Officials have been looking for...

Do you know what happens if Zlatan walks into a wall while he's having an erection?

I'm no expert, but I've used acetone to clean some cement splatter from some of my tools. The stuff came right off. That cement was pretty fresh though, and I have no idea if it would work on old...

Haha! Well, I'm afraid tango and powermetal would make it pretty much a finns-only apres ski. And probably me. :D

This is one of my all-time favourite bands, and I was actually a little surprised to find anything by them on youtube. I thought I was the only one who remembered them. :)

Seigmen - Universal...

Hahahaha!! :D I needed that. Thanks for posting.
