EUROBBI2022 MARCH 1-20 2022 MOUNTAIN LODGE SEDRUN, SWITZERLAND

[subtle plague]

I too wanted to meet Nordekette, hope to ski her next time.

The experience at the lodge with our Mag hosts was indeed the pivotal part of the trip.

They went out of their way in so many ways that you would be downright leery of asking in the first place. Those two deserve all of the success and fun that we can bring to them.

God knows they stay busy all day and keep everything running smoothly. And ya know that comes with some irritation on their part.

I consider them my new friends and sincerely hope they make a trip to the states soon so that we can all party and take care of them, as they do for us.

Don't belittle your actions Buster, I've changed since meeting you.

Danke.

I think you're Confusing nordkette with klar.

[Tri-Ungulate]

nordkette is a damn good skier but he’s not as good as klar!

[skifishbum]

did we discuss scale






humbling to the core

Heh, plainly I was rolling on an assumption. Nordekette's input here always interests me, like most of the Europe regular mags.
Which is why I made it a point to meet and chat with you a bit when you and the family arrived. Beautiful children I might add...

Be that as it may, I look forward to meeting more of you next winter.

Returning in 22-23 has become priority one for this bum...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for the scale shots, SFB. Ya knows I'm hard pressed to stop for a shot. Maybe a toke now...

[skifishbum]

did i mention gratitude n stuffs fer snt buster the patron saints of euro bbi


fuck ya if ya aint down

[Djongo Unchained]

^^^^^^

That is a singularly great shot!!!!!

Print it.

I'd like to start a gofundme for a fresher pair of lifelink AEC or AC/BC probe poles for Buster. Ideally a matching pair. Mine were a tad too long. Will be a hunting this off season.

[bw_wp_hedonism]

I like the title of Patron Saint of EuroBBI for Buster. The Godfather would also suit.

Discussions have started and the Boss Lady agrees that the March Mag deal at the Mountain Lodge and the ticket prices are hard to beat so I may be taking my daughter next year as long as things line up. Cody is extremely excited about the prospect. You guys/gals will dig her, she's a great kid. I even told the Boss Lady that I'd forgo buying a season pass to ski locally but she disagreed and told me that that would be a bad idea for my personal well being. So, good stuff!

I've found that if you want the best possible harvest you have to plant the seeds early. The Boss Lady runs the show and it's generally smooth sailing as long as I'm not rocking the boat.

She's a fun kid and I can't wait to show her off! It will be a different trip of course with a much more reeled in apres vibe but that's probably good for me. After traveling there this time I feel a lot better about stashing some gummy's in the luggage so I'll stay plenty of medicated.

And those groomers man.......everyone can flame away, I don't care. Those cord highways were silly! There's plenty of fun to be had there even with crunchy low tide conditions.

[Djongo Unchained]

As a big mountain groomer aficionado, I've gotta say the main groomers off of the Gemsstock were pretty amazing.
They were the most popular runs for the locals, yet were quiet and you could have it all to yourself for a mile. I did that at least 6 times...

On a coupla days the light was pretty flattish and yet the surface was so smooth, you just had to trust it and roll 'em.

And the sustained pitch of a few of them will require the strongest of skiers to straightline.
I mean fucking terminal velocity as quick as you can manage. Potentially before.

Ask Mofro's son, who is also a top shelf ripper, I think he clocked in around the low 80 mph's.
I had to ask him what din he was running...

I Skied that the last run of the day with my WC-108 Tours with tecton's
it's a great travel ski but not the best choice for a super steep and very long and beautiful ride to town.
Not sure how fast I was going but when the tip's started flapping loudly I slowed down a bit.
You are just trying to keep it together and al of a sudden you rip around a big banked turn and you are in town.
Such a beautiful and humbling experience, Every Mag should go.
BTW thank you for selling me your Patagonia
Pants for a great price. I used them all season and you sent me a nice note and a sticker for my helmet. It’s easy to see that your a solid dude and a great ambassador on this forum

[skifishbum]

I'm sorry, but you'll have to take that up with the skilorship board.

Now as to credit, yeah, sure I shoot my keyboard off, extolling the virtues of Yurpean skean, but the real credit lies mostly with vendul and s who not only work their butts off, but are constantly and lovingly emitting abundance and comfort at https://www.mt-lodge.com/.

Thanks and kudos to them.

Plus, all the other independently owned Yurpean businesses and a big FU to Alterra and Vail.

So, aside from all you wackjobs that fester there to create an awesome and fun scene, for whom I am eternally grateful, it's vendul and s to whom credit is dew.

Gotta say I missed nordkette.

well yeah

lemmee know if and when cause next level hospitality paybacks are wicked bitchedly fun
did i mention the culture

[AmmergauerTele]

SFB - love the scenic photos....Lived near Garmisch, DEU for a few years right on the Austria border. Never got old.....didn't want to come home. Can't wait to get back over there! Your photos are stoking the fire for sure, thanks!

Thanks for the compliment Mag, really appreciate that. Stoked that the pants worked well for ya. Always gratifying to help other mags have a better ski day/season...

- I'm a little confused about timing tho, your trip was at a different time OR you were there with us and it completely escaped me?
I thought for sure I had met everyone and spent some time getting to know them.


There are a handful of mags here who burn down the house on their techy pin clamps.
SFB powers the shit outta them Kusalas and other fattys; Buster makes any turn imagineable on his. When they stay on...

I was there 3 years ago,on my own.
But the food in Italy and France is on a whole different level. I hope you get a chance explore the Alps one day.

[Djongo Unchained]

^^^Thanks, that makes sense now...


A sweet map from the train station of the valley and the towns we frequented:



And a final shot from the train siding down onto Rueras before I pulled outta town.



Honestly, I began to like the hike up to the train. at first I thought it was a grunt but realized it was a short jaunt to wake the body up. I guess it helps that I live at a higher elevation than here...

Considering how close everything is, transitions from donning your boots to loading yer butt onto that first lift is pretty damn simple.

And you get a train ride, which should not be underestimated. It's a very cool train.

[raisingarizona13]

Kurs, buttermilk, mayonnaise and diesel fuel exhaust.

Don't fucking tread on me!

It is really good but I missed the Mexican food of the south western United States.

[Danno]

EUROBBI is on my bucket list for sure. Hope I can get my life and shit together in time for 2023.

Seriously?

[2FUNKY]

Seriously?

Right?! The food over there is amazing!
