Half way trough my 12 hr journey to the east, just realised I was making the same trip last year, almost to the day, for an eastern storm. Stay safe and have fun all, and thanks for the updates subtle. Stoke is high

you may have spoken to buster, but I'll answer:

I will. I will....im still convincing the Crew. But I got at least one Team mate.

Still not sure whether 6 hours and get a room by car or 8h by rv....(or 12h on the way back if it actually snows down to the Autobahn like in 18/19) 🤯


Where are you headed Banzai?

[Buster Highmen]

Bad Gastein or Malnitz by train, hotel Echo for the now.

My faith in Graubunden is undeterred; I'm still planning on being there for EuroBBi2023, dammit.

[twat]

bad gastein.... just looked at with google maps plus the snowfall
absolut jackpot!

Anyone fly Delta and know how flexible they are on the linear inches maximum for a ski bag? Their stated max linear inches (height+circumference) is 115”, and my bag is 117”, but bigger at the bottom and smaller at the top. Measured in the middle of the height it’s only 110”

Headed to Chamonix next week.

I've gone with a bag that holds 200 cm skis.

They tend to be more circumspect about weight, so don't draw attention to that.

Cham is overrated. ;-)

Sometimes it depends on the gate agent. They tend to be more focused on the weight of the bag than the length.

Thanls. I’m gonna just go for it, then. Much appreciated. I think it weighs in at 49lbs. Cutting it a little close all around

Is anybody going to Courchevel for the World Championships?

[LeoK]

I might check in tomorrow - 15cm forecasted for Klosters. Monday might turn out good with more snow and good weather... anybody up for some skiing there on monday?

Everybody else: have fun in the east!

[NWFlow]

I am actually in Davos for the weekend and next week working unless there's a day that can't be missed (maybe Monday). Great snow quality today with marginal visibility and cautious skiing since I'm a tourist and have no idea where the sharks are...

[bw_wp_hedonism]

I’m headed to Cape Town tomorrow and pissed about it.

Is that some "magical" valley somewhere near Obertauern?

[Kevo]

What's the word on conditions in and around Chamonix? I was invited to join a trip the first week of April.

Not so great season so far?

I've had pretty terrible conditions the past 3 international ski trips I've been on. Thinking I'll probably not go unless things in Chamonix are good.

Edit to add- if you were wanting to ski in Europe the first week of April, where is your current bet for best conditions?

Late March / early April is prime time for Lofoten Islands (Norway). Right now it is too far to tell how it will shape up by then, but i've gone there twice around those dates and have scored great snow and average to great weather.

Aye, yesterday was excellent

10c here in GE today Hope everyone in AT is nips deep Post it up!

[subtle plague]

Today wasn't too shabby.
My Finger is awesome!

[subtle plague]

I had fun too.

First real skibday 22 /23.... that is pretty sad. The two touring days were all right, but this is the first day that felt like skiing.

[geo039]

I like the infamous “pole” shot. How far east did you go?

[subtle plague]

Zauchensee. Like my new 10.000 friends. Was tracked by 11


And did you see my ski in the powder spray explosion shot? I took the little drop blind because I was in the face shot.
pic 4 is me bouncing back out from the Landing.

Stoked you finally got some turns in, about time. But honestly, the fact that it took you so long is on you. I was based in Grenoble until I moved to the Pyrenees around Christmas, working full time most of this period, and I have 35 days in so far, just a few of which I wouldn't count as "real skiing". Started November 5th on the Galibier (not a real ski day), but the 26th of November definitely was in Alpe d'Huez:


The 30th around the Galibier:


The 10th of December at Les 2 Alpes:


The 16th in Chamrousse:

The 18th around the sunny side of La Grave:


And after Christmas was over and I had some time here in the Pyrenees, I only had one week of questionable snow (still nice skiing 400 meter couloirs):



before there was fresh snow every other day between the 16th of January and the 29th...








Sure, the base was lacking throughout this period and I may have gotten a coreshot or two, but a big majority of my days have been soft snow (hard snow is common around here in periods of high pressure) with a bunch of legitimate powder days thrown in, been lucky that the pass that connects me to the resort hasn't really closed more than a few hours at a time, instead of days on end.

Anyways, hope the gift keeps on giving, even if we're looking at a snowpack roughly 30% of average.

[rod9301]

Yeah, I'm based on Luz St sauveur and skiing couloirs 4-5 days a week.
Skied a North facing one there days ago, untracked powder, and a s facing two days ago, corn.
All the n facing stuff is cold snow.
