Snow for the Euros.

**cramp** · 04-10-2009, 01:22 PM

It's almost as hot as in summer here around Vienna (arount 25 degree Celsius today in the city

).

Nevertheless, the freeze cycle during the clear nights still works wonder and makes again for some nice 'suburban' spring skiing ...

Dynafit = future. Even those stupid NTN boots work with the Dynafit...

Only until a certain point.

Anyway, yesterday, I skinned with skins that I bought from klar years ago, and had a beer with freak. Disappointed to see huck_schmuck not skiing the skis that I sold to him.

So true. All of it.

Nice to see that the Innsbruck people have a good time in Switzerland ...

Here in the Austrian lowlands the corn season continues. Pretty good conditions given the low elevation (900-1700m) and the summer-like temperatures.

hey, huck_schmuck and schnappi, great to meet you guys!
the tour in verbier was really nice, and it wasnt that bad today... we skinned winterhorn, it rained only up to hm, 2000m... there was about 1cm of powder on the top (in places)!!! descent was kinda funny though... you should have joined

because you can find colors even in the greyest days...

The rest of the Klammer family was up on Dachstein on Saturday and Sunday -- apparently it was fabulous.

Blondin,

Great hearing from you. No shots from Verbier since my camera is broken but mainly spent the season here

http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...d.php?t=156271

Hope San Diego is treating you well and we get a chance sharing turns again some day. Give me a holler when you get back here and bring the triple sixer along.

**verbier61** · 04-14-2009, 03:33 AM

In the meantime, I've checked out my next target from marrakesh's roofs: it's called high atlas, about 4100 m....

**verbier61** · 04-14-2009, 03:34 AM

The north faces in Chamonix are in pretty good now and will be top after a snow refill.

The Vrai Vallée Blanche is not bad either ...

**homemadesalsa** · 04-16-2009, 02:05 AM

We are in Gressoney La Trinite and it is snowing at least 2 cm an hour. Sounds like it's already knee-deep with no visibility whatsoever. We're letting it accumulate a bit and going up for a half-day, then headed for a full powder day tomorrow (Friday). Look for a couple of yanks on Mantras with dynafit bindings (could only bring one pair of skis to the euro-zone, so had to compromise).

Change for a nickel!

**homemadesalsa** · 04-17-2009, 02:28 PM

Remarkable powder day up at Monte Rosa today. A shout out to all the really friendly freeriders from Alagna- open with good beta and just generally welcoming. thanks!

Just a sampling of the goods from today...[IMG]

The long spooky traverse back to the Alagna lifts after skiing the Balma- just to the north and near the old cable car. Great run!

Doing what we do so well...
