Lieber nicht, weil dann spielt's Granada ... auf dreizehn schwoaze Bossgeign!

Ripz, you're gonna regret ever saying that!!!

I'm just glad that you guys are getting after it!

"Der Winter ist eh nicht so schlecht, man muss halt nur wissen ..."

If I had a dollar for every time that people ask me about my Down skis ... In fact, Geo should really make business cards to hand out. Thinking of which, I should really suggest that.

Fabulous...

Yes, until January 3!

Merry Christmas Euros! Say, are we going to get some snow now this week or is this just all deceptive advertising? If so, is western CH the place to go?

Landing in Europe on Thursday 13. Zurich on the 14th then free for skiing until the 18th and then after the 21st.

I think you think that I am not an expert on higher-order beliefs (http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/faculty/florian.ederer/dishonesty.pdf) ... :)

Hahaha, that will cost you!

Probably a re-run, but holy holy holy shit:

Who doesn't?

(Oh Ullr, please make it snow here in the US. I don't know how much longer I can take this.)

Oh man, of course, the one year when I don't go home over Christmas, there is a dumpicane! And, of course, the last two years during the time I went to Europe, the Eastern Sierra and Mammoth had a 3m...

Eine eloquente, junge Dame, hier bei PG wohl bekannt, gab mir noch den Tipp „nehmt den Hin-Rueckweg uebers Skigebiet. Nicht den Weg untenrum. Der ist scheisse, richtig scheisse“ Nun, sie hatte recht,...

Yo, yo, yo, Euros. I iz back! Enough snow for this season, but hopefully I'll see a few of you out in the mountains on some rocks in the Dolomites and in Switzerland in the coming weeks.

"Der Winter ist eh nicht so schlecht ..." ;-)

ibk gang fight ftw

"Posseelainen" (at around 6:48) begs to differ:

She's still glowing, but only on the inside ... ;-)

Great shot.

Just a teaser from another day with the super-duper awesome Innsbruck crew:

Just a super big thanks to keksie (he's a monster when breaking trail), freak (great organization) and klar (best taxi driver ever) for the great tour on Sunday. I'll have some more pics later. Too...

Glad to hear that with Avalanche Warning Level 4(!!!) they decide not to ski ...

T-6 days.

Just got word that the Powder Guide arrived at home in Graz. My mom seems to have opened it already and her first reaction to me on the phone was: "Are those your crazy internet friends again?"

This had me pretty excited:

Sensational. Who is it?

That reminds me of my favorite extracts from Roland Dueringer. Plenty of laughs for those who understand German (actually Austrian) well:

Oh, just reading the newspaper today makes me think that klar, freak and the ibk gang are going hard after it today and the next few days ...

Nice jacket. Speaking of which, either I see so many photos of klar or she hasn't "updated" her jacket in a while either.

I still ski in the sweet Salewa rags that I have owned since 2003 ...

I couldn't agree more. Granatenkogel looks nice, but it seems like a fairly well-traveled route from the books I have, yet on the video it looks totally rad. That in turn makes me think that if we...

Great -- I'll send you and keksie a personal message. I will most likely have my brother in tow (he's the guy in all my photos). We'll be based in Soelden, but we have a car and are flexible...

I couldn't agree more. I actually looked up their second target (Granatenkogel) in the Austrian ski-touring bible...

For klar and her gang ... (EDIT: I just noticed that the video is already 1 year old!)

Sellrain and Obergurgl featuring prominently ... but even the most awesome riders are sissies when...

Yo, peeps, I'm in Europe a little earlier this time round for Christmas. Tyrol from December 17-25 and then mobile around Austria Dec 25 - Jan 2. Let me know if you want to hook up for some turns,...

3 Polish mountaineers froze to death on the Grossglockner this weekend:

Very sad, and to quote Hans...

Und schon bestellt. Ich warte schon sehnsuechtig auf die Geheimnisse, die mir dieses Buch offenbaren wird!

A few last shots of summer which I forgot to contribute to this thread. We were staying with friends in Entreves (Courmayeur) and then at home for a few days. It was a blissful week of gorgeous...

All kinds of epic win!

Although I am missing the monoski a little bit. Did no-one break it out? I thought klar had one!

(I need to buy one BTW -->...

Awesome.

I would love to be there, but it's probably going to fall into my teaching quarter yet again. Too bad.

It looks a bit blurry, but I am glad that the SV Casino Salzburg headband featured prominently!

We need to see some pictures.

Mallnitz FTW!

So, it's been a good season so far all in all?

I think it's Pila: http://www.pila.it/standard.asp?l=e&id=30&s=e

We're arriving on Saturday, August 28 and will depart on Friday, September 3. Would be great to meet up!

This is quite a bit off-topic, but I will be in Courmayeur and Chamonix for a week in late August and early September before attending a wedding near Lyon and I was hoping that some of you could help...

I am afraid, but I will need to see more photos to convince myself that this was really in Morocco!

AMEN TO THAT. Maybe with the only addition that you can get easy backcountry in the US as well and famous places that are popular with ski bums like St. Anton, Engelberg, Chamonix do get tracked...

It doesn't work. Neither with html tags nor without.

This video is long overdue. It's from Sölden on December 26, the most resort-focused day (no hiking, no skinning, no boot-packing) I've done all season long. It's just a shame that the camera didn't...

Read about the new Italian law in the Austrian newspaper today. For those of you who read German well, here are the details:...

Yes, that was probably them. I wasn't there (I was ski-touring in Mammoth), but they had a blast. Do you remember any of the names?
