actually, you don't have to turn on your headlights by day anymore. but make sure you don't get caught speeding in austria, it's pretty damn expensive.
also, keep in mind the cops have different...

this season? no, but i've been there a lot a couple of years ago. great skiing if there's pow, several areas to choose from.
pm me if you need to know anything else.

edit: btt about skis and how...

wow, 3 pairs of ntns?
i have one pair that i use one 3 pairs of skis...

he was only the second skier, so it's doubtful he would've won. he was faster than the guy before him though.
the really fast guys had way faster splits even though they weren't quite as fast at...

forgot to mention:
to put things into perspective, 141 km/h is faster than the highway speed limit in austria. pretty impressive.

austrian and german news say mccartney suffered a cerebral trauma (don't know if that's the correct translation). surgery is not necessary at the moment (and hopefully won't be), but they put him in...

skis are overrated.
make sure you pick any pair w/ an integrated binding system, it's the only way a ski can perform at its best.
the best integrated bindings are easily recognized: they come in...

another vote for 7tms. first of all, i like teles better than alpines, 2nd, if there's a lot of holes in the skis already, you might have better luck getting the 7tms on there w/o any interference...

^my bad. i meant the continental eu and thought it might cost more since ulty pointed out he didn't want to ship to euroland.

and it wouldn't matter if it was shipping to germany or austria. i...

ulty,
let me know if you change your mind about shipping skis to the eu.
i'd be interested in the powder plusses.
if you figure out a way to ship them (you could take off the bindings and keep...

lemon: yes, you can use trekkers w/ dukes. i wouldn't recommend it though, since you'll have to get out of the bindings to switch modes. :eek:

chris knight: you don't get it. stack height is good...

...except for that skyhoy desaster..

if i were you i'd definately get another dog asap (you seem to be able to).
here's why:
my dog died last summer (08-17-2006) at the age of almost 14 due to horrible cancer and i still miss him so...

so, now that marker seems to regain some reputation, they might try to make some sl-like binding to get back to the good old "marker sucks balls" times?
the sl failed pretty bad back then.

i really like my haglöfs edge backpack. good size for daytrips, insulated enclosed shoulderstrap holder for the hydration hose, external compartment for avy gear, access to the main compartment from...

me, pics taken by my dad at kicking horse, bc, feb 07

my gf might be interested (depending on how much the upcoming car repair will set her back) in some midfat/fat skis (95-115mm waist skis), length around 180.
cheap, no more than €150, don't have to...

and always remember: those guys from the northern part of germany (north of the donau, that is) actually ski like those texans ski :the_finge

edit: and those neon green kästle rx 15 slaloms...

btt:
it better will snow this winter. after last season's "non winter" it just has to..
but usually the early season is much better in montana than in europe, we (in europe) usually don't get our...

looks like it'll actually make it into production: :yourock:

too bad i can't afford these (need new boots and bindings..)
sorry if this is a rerun.

actually, they found epo in la's frozen b samples from 99. back then there was no test to actually find epo in an athlete's urine, now that there is, they found it but can't do anything about it due...

thanks guys.
based on your recommendations, i stayed away from the grivel.
i got a bd sphynx 42 (weight wise it's right in between the grivel light and reg model), it fits great, seems to be...

to be precise, HE was a terrorist. currently still in jail.



klar: i'm green w/ envy... awesome pics.

i'm afraid i'll have to let you down too then. i'd rather climb it during the week since i don't want to stand in line that much.
but, depending on the weather and on how desperate i am, i might...

how long are you staying? i was planning on climbing piz bernina also, via the bianco ridge, i could get there (the tschierva hut) on wed (july 18) night or thu morning.
my buddy still isn't...

tried a search but couldn't find anything.

here's the question: i could get a good deal on either the grivel alpine, or the light model. they're both 42 liter packs, i'd use it for climbing,...

... i'd call this hardpack

rossi ex's, 201 (gs skis, black and yellow). got them back in 97, my first "new" skis. they ruled.
those are the skis that i really learned how to ski on (pow, steeps, trees).
good old times...

hmm, someone seems to be pretty into penises and feces.
i wonder why.. :rolleyes:

another t bar story:
a friend of mine and i were riding up the lift together. both w/ energ tele boots, the same bindings and leashes.
somehow, my leash connected to my friend's d-ring on the boot...

hey, these bindings are not really all that bad i think. cool hardcore 80s euro touring steeze... i've only skied them for several days, but had encountered no problems other than icing and getting...

i have garmont ener-g shells w/ custom foam liners.
the shells have a little more than 200 days on them, the liners around 150-160.
the shells are fucked. they're just totally soft in every...

oops. i thought 180 meant the ski length, didn't know it was a shop.

i will pm you sometime coming weekend.
thanks again

mntlion and eirikainersharp:
thanks! we'll check those stores.
little grooming sounds fine, i was just wondering which skis would be more suitable.
about the length issue: you think 180 is too...

sorry to hijack this thread, but it'd be great if someone could help me out:

i'll be at kicking horse from feb. 19-24.
the damn airline won't let me take much baggage, overall (including my ski...

+1. the lowa fit closely resembles that of a bucket. you can fit both feet in one boot. (my alpine boots were langes)

i'm incredibly sorry.
PLEASE hang in there. you're the one who knows dw best, as long as you live, she'll be remembered in the best possible way.
stay strong.

this customer "service" is beyond stupid. :cussing:

they have a release mechanism just like today's tele bindings (voile crb and 7tm). one part of the binding stays attached to the ski, the other part stays on the boots. in between there's the release...

praetorian is right. i really don't think that guus in that picture is the guy i'm looking for.

holy sh*t, you guys are absolutely amazing! i never thought i'd get that much help. you rock.

thanks a lot, shawn.
as soon as my skis finally get here (pow+) i'll pimp them. leaving the edge/sidewall "outrigger" thingie out definately sounds promising, i thought of something like that too....

shawn and gwat: your skis look awesome. i might try that on a pair of mine also.
just one more question: do you clearcoat your sidewalls too? if so, how brittle is that polyester resin stuff? does...

arjen: thanks a lot! i really appreciate it.
and don't worry, no need to be ashamed, there's *ssholes among all nationalities..
