Don't know wtf has happened to the quote function on here, but not working for me these days...

Anyways, yeah, still looking like some decent snow tomorrow. Hopefully not rain. Might make the...

Well, some god sure liked me yesterday with 2 Canadians on the podium in Kitzbuhel! That alone made the trip worth it!

But it would be nice if we get some snow! I've skied the same number of...

Umm, sorry to say, but no. The trails are perfectly fine, but there are tons of places better.

I see you will be at KH. I would actually rate Dawn Nordic right at the ski hill as better than...

Good to have the weather forecast, good or bad. What I actually meant to type was avalanche forecast, but somehow that became "attend" forecast in my original post. Lol

The link @subtle_plague...

Thanks!

So extra long Norquays with Jaegertea stops! Got it!

Thanks for the link. We are set on eastern Austria ad we have accommodation lined up and Salzburger super ski passes. Main reason for the trip is to hit the races in Kitzbuhel and Schladming so why...

Anyone have any good links to attend forecasts for Austria? Particularly the Salzburger region.

Been trying to follow along with the snowpack this season, but now that I'm arriving, would like to...

If you didn't worry so much about that golf stuff, you could live closer to a ski hill!. Lol

Will do.

Realize that part of the trip will likely be groomer days. Really going to that area for the night races. But hoping to get some decent snow at Krippenstein and/or Dachstein.

So playing around with Skimomap. Figured out how to upload gpx routes ok. But then the only way I can see that route is to select it from "my routes". It seems like you can just see one route at a...

Arriving in Austria Jan 7. Staying in Zillertal till Jan 15, then Zell am See to hit a bunch of resorts 16th-26th. Then based out of Radstadt for 27th-Feb 4. If anyone will be around and wants to get...

ER7 I can see. Last week's snow made a big difference on how filled in it looked. But ER 3 still looked really grime even after the snow. Especially lower down. Not sure I will guinea pig that one!...

Almost all touring parts wear faster than alpine parts. Especially when being hammered on more aggressively inbounds through moguls etc. The toe and heel pins of the bindings wear. The toe and heel...

A and B gully popped this afternoon. Surprisingly well filled in, especially on the first lap. Nice little surprise I wasn't expecting today! The extra snow this week has made a big difference on the...

Pretty good day today at LL. Obviously still need more base and more terrain open, but it was the best day of the year so far for me. Not that the bar was set very high...

Says they are working on a cable on the first gondola.

Shit. I'd been really excited to potentially see him racing at Schladming when I go to the night race this year. Oh well...

Really figured Vonn was the big injury risk coming back, not him.

Yeah, but Clarey hadn't retired with major knee issues and come back to racing. Big difference. I just don't see anything to gain from this whole thing. She's not going to get enough podiums to move...

From what I heard from a fairly reliable source today, is that the chair is ready once snow conditions allow. But we'll see I guess.

Isn't the train from Gastein through to Mallintz closed this winter for repairs? Had wanted to do it on my trip this coming January so I could do that tour of Schareck to Sport Gastein, but my...

Indy has just added on the 12 resorts on the Innsbruck City pass too. Didn't look into if that is 2 days at each of the 12, or 2 days total.

Thanks guys! Gonna do a ride in Pocatello tomorrow and then stop off in PC and see how conditions are. Hoping at least Midmountain down is OK.

Thanks! Was thinking tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. Seems like the weather should be good. Assuming it's not already muddy from last weeks precip?

What other stuff would you recommend on the way...

Hmmm. That looks sweet. Heading down from Canada for some mtbing. Doing some stuff in Montana right now. Had wanted to stop in Park City on the way down further south, but then I saw the snow in Alta...

And make sure you hang out with jetski and weibo when you go! Can't ask to meet nicer guys or have better guides to show you around Marmot!

Briancon sounds like a good choice for the majority of your needs. Good road and mtb riding. Decent, (sometimes great) skiing nearby. Good xc ski team as well.

Other honorable mentions would be...

Exactly the same things I've been trying to wrap my head around. I would totally understand it if they made Fatmap paid subscription only, but to shut it down when they have no viable alternative...

Yeah, thought some magic switch might be thrown today. Instead, you still can't save a route as a ski activity, and there are no winter images... Nice work Strava.

But from what I can see, it only exports your own routes doesn't it? That's also how Strava explained it too. So if you have previously used community posted routes when visiting new places, like I...

Seems like app only. Maybe cast your phone to the tv if you want a bigger picture at home?

Been playing around with a bunch of different apps this week, and unless Strava really does something we don't see coming on Oct 1, Outmap seems like it will be the best replacement I can see. There...

"Sorry", not sorry... Hope you at least sent the guy some Aloe Vera for the burn! lol

Amen to that!

Thanks guys! Think I'll try running the 12 based on the feedback. Would like to save that bit of weight, and it won't be a regular inbound ski. I'll only be using the setup while I'm away travelling...

I'm going to get a set of these for a pair of travelling skis. So will mostly ski lift serviced, but some shirt tours as well. Would like to save some weight with the 12, but am.I going to hate the...

Thanks for the heads up on this! Gonna get a pair, just wondering if I should get the 16 or the 12. I'm going to mount these on skis I can travel with and do mostly lift serviced, bit still have the...

Been playing around with that Outmap app some more. The 3D imagery is actually quite good. But for the life of me, I can't find a way to upload any gpx files to it. Anyone else able to figure out how...

Just looked into that based on your suggestion. Are you using the app Outmap, or the website outmap.app? They don't appear to be the same thing, and have different features.

One has good 3D, but...

Incorporated into Strava as of Oct 1, and Fatmap will no longer work as of that date.

I've been spending the last couple of days saving gpx files for any route I think I might ever want to do on Fatmaps. Even transferring those over to Strava is a pain in the ass. And it still doesn't...

Salzburg not looking great.

So guessing some of you have been to Schladming for the night races, and looking for some suggestions on tickets.

Thinking of going to both the GS and the slalom. Doing one of the races in the...

Stelvio certainly did. Good thing my buddies rode it a couple of days ago on their Euro cycling trip before the snow came!

I use an inReach mini for my own personal use, but I am forced to use a Spot at work, so pretty familiar with both. Note I used the term "forced". That kind of sums it up.

There is no comparison...

Right on cue, they did!

https://www.mtbr.com/threads/teton-gravity-research.1233543/

Thanks guys. Sounds like maybe I should still take the touring skis as in the past.

Yes, will probably hit skiwelt and Alpbach too. Just didn't include those cause figured they would be better on...

Hey gang, as I said above, I'm heading over to Austria this January. With rising baggage fees, I'm wondering if I can slim down the bags this year by not bringing a touring set up. I always have...

Did 3 weeks last winter hitting resorts west of Innsbruck. This time we're heading further east. Be there Jan 8 - Feb 6.

Booked flights and rental car for Austria in January! Gonna hit Kitzbuhel and Schladming for the races, so let the debauchery begin! Super stoked! Hopefully can make some turns with some of you!
