First visit to TGR for 18 months - and find great TR from Lego and Divegirl. Nice to get your season off to a good start. I'm off to Val d'Isere on Sunday to see if Europe really does have the best...

This article and video on PisteHors caught my attention, for those of you looking for real randonnee skis. 13min long, mixture of French and English - with subtitles. Includes lengthy sections from...

Great stuff - so jealous!

Yes, booked this morning to leave tomorrow. Just enough new snow to make it worth going. Probably requires lower level of insurance than drinking with maggots in Waterloo.... Enjoy it.

No we didn't change our mind. You are just too quick to jump to conclusions. :rolleyes:

Abstaining on choice of venue - either looks good - becuase still not certain if will be there. Yet to decide whether to do late booking for me/young daughter to ski next week. Snow's not...

Earlier this year was my third. For a while I was trying to get my summit count above my post count but couldn't help making the occasional post.

No firm plans to come to NAmerica this year -...

Hey Josh

How's it going? The first maggot I met/skied with! Why didn't we see you at the PNW+W/B summit last year.

Awsome conditions & pics. Skiing OK as well I see.

One quote from the article: "Then...

Glad to see you're off to get some snow - hope the knee holds up.

I've skied with Remy Lecluse and survived - just!

Nice bloke but bit of a nutter. You too could join him, some of this years trips can be found here: http://www.mountaintracks.co.uk/about/remy

It will probably be grass skiing anyway - so perhaps will stay and drink. Will leave decision another 18 days or so!

I'm interested in joining this - met loads of N American maggots but almost no brits/euros. Anywhere reasonably central is good for me. Only problem is whether I can make 11 Dec (looks like that is...

The irony is that the magazine is a FREE give away



Well he couldn't spell his own name correctly.

Lee, you don't deserve this! Really messes up the sharing on this board and elsewhere.

Further to what Horizon said, Spratley seems to be well tied in to Ultimate Ski. They have him in 2...

Another $10 for/from me!

LeeLau, can you put me down for dinner for any night you are organising? I am busing in tuesday evening to ski Wed - Sun inclusive. Travelling up with Up&Down. Thanks.

Staying Crystal...

Buster, thanks for info. Had indeed planeed to stay at Crystal Hotels, and will mention your name, but since I'm going for the inclusive deal with lift pass, breakfast etc not sure what extra I...

s99 - Put me down for:

Thursday 3/2 and Friday 3/3 at Crystal (there seem to be several other maggots lining up a trip to Crystal on Thursday 3/2, see here...

If you guys do go on Thursday, any chance of a ride? I am flying into Seatac Wed 3/1 afternoon to join the summit. Have yet to pick accommodation for Wed night, so could try to get somewhere...

Good suggestion by AD. As a euro never been to WA I am looking for ideas as to what will be a good itinerary for the first few days of my trip. Arrive Seattle Wed afternoon this week and so far...

Fiddler - I'm interested in the W/B tickets - email sent

LeeLau,

Another non-cliff-hucker here. Just gone firm with my flights and hope to arrive in W/B around the 5th or 6th after a few days in WA and then ski thru Sunday. So hope to be around on 8th...

Yes I've decided I've got to be part of this. Waiting for flight confirmations as I write this 1-13 March via Seattle.

Lego, I am interested in space for one for all nights - sounds like that might be possible but a tight squeeze if your are fitting Tibaher and Bomber in too. Still only possible attendee - email...

Snow Dog. If you've got details I'd like to hear them. Can't find anything as cheap as this for my dates but I don't know all the airline options

Smerham and S99 I'm a Euromag considering joining this skifest. If so would fly in/out of Seattle (much cheaper than Van) arr about 1-2 Mar, leave around Monday 13. Biggest travel problem would...

Monday spent in Alpe dHuez. Good fresh tracks firstly in resort down Sarenne; then afternoon off the back of Pic Blanc down to small village think it was Clavans fresh tracks ,ost of th way; few...

Just arrived La Grave; skied today. Last snow several days ago, none predicted soon - see Lostintrees' map.

All classic lines are well skied; but powder alongside looks inviting but our guide...

Still available (see post 137).

esfreeridepq - you said you were interested, sorry took a while to pm you - check your box for numbers/email you can contact.

Missed this first time around - was trying to teach my 12yr old daughter to ski (lot of patience needed - she's very cautious, not sure where that came from). Really glad that everything is working...

Good luck TJ, sorry to hear about this. Good memories of trekking round rockies with you couple of years back, despite the weather. Hope to hear good news soon.

Just spoken to an English ski instrutor in Alpe d'Huez who said that snow is fantastic, best he's known it at this stage.

And I'm arriving there on Sunday ......... difficult to keep calm and...

Thinking of going to Alpe d'Huez next week arriving Sunday evening. Sounds like it could be good. Anyone else there then? Will have 12 yr old daughter in tow, but if can get her to go to ski...

My son has bust one of his K2 PEs, so anyone interested in selling him a single? Or might consider selling his remaining ski which has no major damage but used daily for one season.

2004-5 model,...

Superb. Best quality pics for ages.

Like Kristen, looked at your website for more great, great entertainment.

And what a difference between Vol 1 and Vols 6/7. When did you get your D2X, and...

Hi Ripz, the pictures you posted appear to all be on a site called gallery.consumerreview.com. I took a look at that and it has notice saying "temporarily unavailable due to maintenance". Guess you...

Vinzclortho,

I'm in for a ride as paying passenger. Assume we'll meet up Friday afternoon/evening at Alta. I'll send you another PM with details.

Good luck!

Really sorry to hear your news. Am making efforts to get across from UK and attend Utah mini-summit, so hoped to see you there & ski a few runs together. Retallack was definitely one of last...
