The spring monsoon is the best time of year to be in cham. You just have to be lucky enough to catch it....

There are 2 guys who gave footworks their rep Jules & Damien. Jules trained Damien. They both got jobs for ski companies developing boots & fitting for worldcup racers. In the meantime footworks's...

Appears it wasn't his client but his girlfriend & his mate who were with him. Unfortunately she didn't make it. If reports i've heard are correct then this one wasn't a skier triggered avalanche but...

By all accounts from down below/the judges perspective candide's run was much better than any of the others. Super smooth, fast & consistent with big airs. I think that heli footage just sucks donkey...

Right looks like i might have an opportunity to take an excellent job in Phoenix Arizona. One so good i'd be a fool to pass it up. However being from Yurp i've no idea how far this is to well...

I think i'll still be avoiding the yellow snow....

Bin there done that mostly just getting BS threads on the worlds hardest lines, etc. the occasional post about it referencing some youtube or movie clip. Basically that i could find there is no...

Thinking about trying to ski denali next season. Just trying to put a little info together before committing to it. So basically looking for anyone with first hand info of the messner couloir or...

According to Xavier on his blog they were going for the Benedetti couloir off of the top of Mont Blanc. AFAIK this goes down the adjacent to the brenva face of mont blanc. This is the most wild...

Pick Me!

That clip is nowhere in Cham so using my powers of deduction i would deduce that it therefore must be in Verbier.

cool cheers guys

Just wondering if anyone more specifically euros & ortovox owners have had sent their transcievers back to ortovox for calibration. My transciever is getting on a bit though still perfectly...

Am i too late? If not put me in the mix, please.

Just wondering in peoples own words what you would describe as extreme skiing? I know it's an overused, overcliched term but i think it's still relevant sometimes.

I'm on my 6th gore-tex jacket due to the wonders of the gore-tex lifetime guarantee scheme. Actually if the truth be told i'm on about my 10th/11th. Though the first example is based on the fact from...

Personnaly i always thought the Cosmiques was easier/nicer than the Rond but then again i come from a mountaineering backround originally rather than a skiing backround so getting into it never...

They're trade routes among the better skiers in cham but the average standard in Cham is better than most places i suspect. The Rond is high 40's, maybe 50 degrees for the first couple of hundred...

Just wondering if anyone has notched the tips of their skis to aid keeping their skins on. Basically my touring skis have relatively wide tips & my skins don't stay on as well as they should do. I...

if you like justice & daftpunk check out Etienne De Crecy's Super Discount Albums & any live mixes by him. Also Alex Gopher is in the same vain.

Beautiful, entertaining & totally immersing. What more could you ask for from a ski film?

There's also one in Brevent though this is lesser known than the other 2.

Well Poubelle translated is rubbish bin or garbage chute in american parlance. Though you don't call mont blanc white mountain or the Aiguille du midi the midday needle so why should the Poubelle (1...

It pops out on the lower skiers right hand side of the pas du chevre. Great little couloir bout 45degrees on average though when lean can be a bit steeper, frequently awkward to get into. Quite...

Hey wildstyle can you post a link as to where you're getting these projections from. Only decent euro forecasts i can find in english are the local resort ones. I'm looking for something a bit more...

Cheers guys thanks for the info. Funny though how you have a good burn & people reply better.

Think i'll get a pair alright, seeing as i'm planning on going to gulmarg for a few weeks next year....

I think you'll find that Bamboo is actually a type of grass & as such isn't technically wood.

So anyone got a pair? If so what do you make of them?

So far I've only heard good things about them, though admittedly I've not heard an awful lot. I do like the idea of the bamboo core, being...

Thinking of going for 2 weeks next winter. So just wondering if anyone on here has actually been there & what they thought of the place?

All of the reports make it sound amazing just like to get...

I met Turbo in Cham one time when he was testing the rocket setup for the dearby in la Grave. One of the funniest things i've eveer seen him shooting down the vallee blanche under rocket power....

Anyone done it?

Just wondering as i've got a pair & don't get me wrong they're great but they're not quite as stiff as my previous alpine boots & seeing as i can't afford or really justify at the...

You should try the Grands Montet in Chamonix. Fastest tracked mountain in the world. In high season on a big powder day the mountain is tracked to bits in 2 hours. The hidden stashes know only by the...

Can't really comment on the rest as i don't get enough time on the whitestuff anymore being located here in Dublin (ireland). Though i've got a pair of 04/05 185 Thunders & they're as good as any all...

I'm pretty experienced alpine mountaineer, skier & tourer. I'm happy on anything up to about 45/47 degrees (depending on conditions), can ski up to about 51/52 if i need to. Though i wouldn't be too...

Right I'm coming over your way folks for 2 weeks around the end of March to visit a mate living in the Rogers Pass neighbourhood.

I lived in Cham for a few years, done alot of the bigger lines....
