You must have your own snow making machine with you, lol. Was in Cour most of last week, skied Cour, la Thuile, & Pila, never even saw a flake of new snow.
On Sat afternoon saw a 3-4yr old kid...

Just left Cour a couple of hours ago. Whole valley is basically "dust on crust". YMMV

Epic in Kitzbuhel until mid afternoon. Skied lap after lap of the Steinbergkogel wall/bowl in 1 1/2-2ft fluffy pow all day until heavy cloud and snow came in around 2PM. My legs were gone by then...

Socked in and snowing most of the day at St Anton. All upper lifts closed, zero viz. Spent most of the day under the Kapal chair and the Zammermoos chair, even those had 5-10 mtr viz at the top,...

Just arrived St Anton, expect to spend the next 10 days or so bouncing around western Austria. Right now thinking here for a few days, then maybe over to Zillertal valley, then maybe the Welt and...

Yup, had about 2 1/2 feet of fresh and nonstop snow on Sunday at Limone. But it was heavy and pretty solid, you could only keep speed up on the steeps, other than that it would just drag down your...

Cool, I'll be on vacation then and was looking to spend some time in Cham anyway. Never been there before, looking to spend week or so, see what all the fuss is about, lol.

On nice days I wear a little thin scull cap under my helmet, on cold days I step up to a balaclava. Makes it a lot more comfortable and warm but does take up a little room. Serius and a few other...

Has anyone skied the Head Adaptedge LTD (110 flex) boots and have anything to say about 'em?

I've given upon my Tecnica's. I've been on the Dragon 110's for 4 yrs but these days they just plain...

Bad news, but off hand the old saying "alcohol may have been involved" sounds pretty realistic.

ROME — Six Russians...

Question for those familiar with Marker brakes. They offer a 90 and a 110, and I want to order online to install on my Dynastar Legend 94's. Searches turned up results in both directions, bend the...

Not sure if you're aware of it or not, but 10km west of Modane, in Orelle, on a nice day, you can jump on the 3 Valleys Express and be in Val Thorens in a few minutes. I wouldn't depend on it on a...

Three Valleys for the Holiday
Hey, just booked hotel in Brides for Sat thru Wed. Never been in that area before, gonna check it out. I've got a sore ankle from a bike accident a couple of months ago...

Slide today on the east of Montgenevre, in the valley to Claviere. No details. I was in Claviere heading to Montgenevre and was hearing the occasional heli chopper. Then a little more activity. When...

Thinking about Val Thorens for the weekend. First time out this year and first time there. Looks like they've been dumped on earlier this week and more to come Fri. Second option is Courmayour, but...

Cool, I've downloaded both My Tracks and Alpine Replay, will give 'em a try. Thx

Don't know about the Suunto, have an old Casio G Shock that gave alt but it was a royal pain. Had to zero it out to the barometric pressure each day, then manually start and stop at each alt change,...

I've been on various Dynastars for quite a few years, but I picked and chose carefully after demo. Now I have the Sultan 80's for piste, and the 94's for off. The 94's are damp and a little stiff...

Hi,
Looking for an android altitude totaling app. Something that will total up my vertical from a days skiing without constantly entering top and bottom readings etc. Something I can zero out in the...

Wow, sorry to hear this, demo'ing these were on my short list. Heard they were heavy but most reviews were still good, with a few comments on the tail shape. I'm on the Legend 94's for off piste runs...

Been thinking about a pair of these,( Std 97's not HM'S). When you demo'd what was your binding placement, on ctr or fwd? and by how much? Right now my off piste skis are couple year old legend 94's...

Keep us up tp date on what you find. I'm doing another winter in Sanremo this year, but early rumours are that my boss may have us based in Barcelona next winter, so it may be a Pyrenees winter for...

Viva la Mono!!

I'm over on the other side of Italy in Sanremo, this will be my second winter here. Can't help you out with the Dolomites, haven't been there yet. Did get up to a little north of you into Austria a...

Years ago I stopped in Aspen about Christmas time to see a friend, only planned on being there a few days, maybe a week most. Ended up spending the entire season, left in mid April when the Mtns shut...

Grew up in Maine, and Mt Abrams was the first "big" mtn I skied at back in the early 60's. Once we got a little older and more experienced moved on up to the big hill, "the 'Loaf" in our teens....

Champoluc/Gressoney/Alagna ??
Thinking about heading up for an single overnight after work Mon to catch some fresh on Tues from this storm, where do we head.
Some write-ups say the better base is...

140 gig of music on the iPod, speakers in the helmet, always on. Fresh pow run with AC/DC or crusin' with Clapton, gotta have tunes!!!

Thx for the heads up on conditions. Think I'm just going to pack it in and head back down to Italy. I've been hitting it pretty hard the last few weeks and my knees are just about done in, I don't...

Just arrived in Cham, drove over from Jungfrau/Eiger this afternoon.
Anybody know what condition the Vallee Blanche is in? Guides are saying there's still some powder up there, pretty hard to...

I was back there today so took a few more for younow that I have an idea what your looking for.

Englberg/Murren

I just got into Engelberg couple hours ago, figure I'll do 2-3 days here then move on to Murren/Wengen area for a few.
Anybody around give me a hollar, here by myself.
Was in...

Thx for the link.

I'm 5'9, 190, 58y/o, and with fresh snow I'll ski off piste on Sultan 94's, but as soon as it gets old/tracked I'll swap to Sultan 80's and ski piste, never intentionally do tracked out/bumps (old...

Thanks, just the kind of info I was looking for, didn't know about the pass closure or the train.

Got caught last week going from St Anton to Bormio, the TomTom and Google sent me to a closed...

St Moritz to Andermatt??

Does anyone know if I can drive the more northern route from St Moritz, thru Thusis, Bonaduz, Flims, Obersaxon, Tujetsch, Andermatt??

Google has me going down from...

This was Huckfugen on Wednesday, at least what I could see of it. Actually it did clear up after lunch, but by then it didn't matter.

Heading up to Mayrhofen area for the week, check it out, see what it's like. If anyone has any info or in the area give a shout. Thx

Nice day in St Anton, but I was a day late, all lift served faces were tracked out. You could still get some fluffy crud or an occasional short stretch of nice I you worked for it. By the end of the...

Leaving for the St Anton area in about 4-5 hrs. Drive thru the night. Never been there before, staying at least thru the weekend, maybe more, depending. Only hotel I could find was in Landeck, google...

Nice pics. We were in Limone on Sat, looks about same conditions, pow and overcast flurries.

Just back from the day at Limone, It, top was windblown and zero viz. Lower in the trees and along the ridges was awesome, knee to thigh deep freshies all day but with limited viz.

Here just...

Thx for the info. I had seen pictures of the old fort when I did a search, looks cool. Just didn't know if that was where to head for fresh. Saw way over on skiers right, right of the gondola, theres...

Old news.
Olux is still about 8 hours each way by train and they haven't had shit for snow yet this year either. Besides can get there late on a Fri but no way to get back Sun night. My job doesn't...

75cm fresh + rock skis = base

Besides I grew up right alongside you, Maine, (and probably many years before you) base is usually 2-3" of blue ice mixed with snow dust, LOL, or as they say "New...

All those require a 3 day car rental plus travel time & expenses, that avgs $1000 per weekend, I know I've been renting/traveling four out of the last six weekends. Done Val d'Isere/Tignes, Verbier,...

Limone Piemonte?
Any body ski there? Know where to get tracks or check out first thing Sunday?
It's pretty close to me here in Sanremo but they haven't had any real snow yet this year so I haven't...

1400? - don't have a clue
Right now, @ 10:15 P in the village just walking home from dinner is a very light rain.

I can't see myself skiing here tomorrow, probably try Courmayeur.

Skied my...

Morning was pretty good at la Thuile, windy and cloudy higher up but got in a few good runs on 2 and 3. Weather cleared around 11 and they opened to the top of the face, Chaz Dura, and that lasted...
