Euro TR: ?????????????

[geo039]

The 07/08 season never really ended here in Euroland but the snow did….until TODAY! This TR is a multiple choice review of the past day in the life of a few Euro Mags kicking off the new season. The rules of the TR are simple. Each pic has a question attached to it with 3 possible answers at the top. Take a guess and see the correct answer at the bottom of the pic. For each answer you get right add 1 point to your score. At the end of the TR you can see where you rank in the “Jones Factor” for the ‘real’ 07/08 season.

Question #1:
Based on the infamous “Snow for the Euros” thread where was the destination of choice to ski on September 29th?
A) Zermatt B) Saas Fee C) Kitzsteinhorn

The answer if B.

Question #2:
TeleAl, Ripzalot, BBirttle, Marius, and others were possible shows…Al was so happy he said:
A) Where’s Ripz…I know what time it is! B) I am so stoked to have a job C) ….check the rack out on that MILF

The answer is A, B, and C. Everyone gets a point here.

Question #3:
The music was pumping in Saas Fee with crazy MILFs in full effect…and “the twins” (real name unknown) were killing it with the pseudo-karaoke set-up. The one on the right was multi-talented….how many instruments did she play?
A) 3 B) 2 C)1

The answer B (that we know off) ..Flute and Sax.
Bonus Shot:


Question #4:
After about 4 hours of sleep we were up at the break of dawn. The day was looking good. What time was the first lift?
A) 7AM B) 7:30 C)8:00


The answer C.

Question #5:
We were at the lift at around 7:45, but didn’t reach the top until 9ish. Why?
A) Crazy guy on the right got in a fight with Ripz because he was taking photos without his permission. B) It was “b-30” C) F’in gapers and racers clogged the line to make 1st “piste” turns!
This one was a gimme, C.

Question #6:
Holy Sh-t Ripzalot is on skis with Al, why are these the only two pictures that you will see of him in this TR?
A) He takes the best pictures B) It was “b-30” C) Geo is an idiot and forgot to take extra batteries for his camera.

A or C works here. For the record, he is getting much better and will rock this season as a two-planker convert.

WARNING: The stoke that follows will make most mags jealous, so please click BACK if you do not want to see pow riding on September 29th.

Question #7:
Mags were in force today. Ripz and Geo rode the lift and spotted one ripping the liftline..it was?
A) BBirttle B) Marius C) PeterK

The answer is B. Marius was rocking it out. Hope the back is feeling better bro. Here is one for the books.


Question #8:
TeleAl was back from a little biking accident and the cast was off….he was ready to get back at it……how many cm was “reported” for the Saas Fee region?
A) 10cm B) 30cm C) 50+

The answer if C. Al found one of the “+” spots!

Question #9:
As always Ripz was the camera-pimp and caught some great action shots….Geo was stoked to get this one….after seeing this he said?
A) FNKA B) What month is this? C) It better snow this year in CH!...I want more!

The answer is A, B, and C. Everyone gets a point here.

So now your rankings:
0-2 Points: You guys suck. It was 70 here today!
3-5 Points: You guys suck. Just because!….I want to go skiing!
6-8 Points: You guys suck. Can you guys send some of that this way?
A perfect 9! You guys deserve it after last season in Euroland.

Thanks for taking the TR challenge. Hopefully more to come this season! Thanks for Ripz, Al, Milo, and Marius for company.

Freshies in September, sweet. We're still waiting for our first early season dump.

[Eldo]

Fantastic! The first major pow TR of the 07/08 season.

Fitting that it comes from the Euro mags who totally deserve it.

Thanks tho.

[PeterK]

I missed the question on the multi-talented twins, but I got all the others.

What do I win except a fucked up back that makes it almost impossible to walk? I woke up properly to the alarm I set at 4:30 this morning but had to roll out of bed, unable to stand up. After half an hour of stretching and looking at my packed gear without improvement I went back to sleep.

Have been making my best hunchback imitation in the apartment all day, fearing the arrival of pictures like that. Fuck. I hate you.














Looks like a most awesome day! Hope this is a sign of what this winter will offer

[PulverSchwein]

oh yeah that's the shit we all want. Bring on 07/08 Ullr!!

[hev]

holy shit, that looks amazing .

[jskierpx]

I got a perfect score, but even if I didnt. I DESERVE PITY POINTS!!! I lived in Switzerland LAST winter, and we all know how that was...and now look at what is happening once I LEAVE!!!

Well I will be back and living there the winter after this one and these pics give me chills, thanks for the stoke though---

I still have "popcorn" stickers all over my crap here, too many good nights at that bar in Saas Fee to remember.

[Raps]

Wow that looks amazing - Saas Fee brings back some great memories!

TeleAl, i swear i will be back out there one of these days!

[gazetteer]

I am sitting here hyperventillating after seeing this.

Deep breaths, Deep breaths, Deep Breaths.

[greg]

i guess the answer is obvious. nice tr and i hope to see you guys whenever you are heading east..

[Fluffracka]

Whoooo!!! Wowers that looks so fantastic that it almost hurts to look at it...

Luckily RyanAir starts to fly from here to Basel 11:th October for really cheap so maybe maybe theres a possibility for October, November and December turns if everything works out...

[IridePow]

Powder in September..... can't get better than that.

[stantonbum1]

Nice going guys, looks like a great day. Would have looked to make the trip down from Zurich but had my dad visiting. Am sure I´ll hook up with some of you this winter as will be spending it down in verbier.

[TeleAl]

Those first 2 pow turns felt like a dream.
Afterall, they were the first 2 turns of the season!


A couple notes:

Question #2:
Not sure A, B, and C were all said by me, but they were said.

Question #6:
I had my camera with me, a new one, complete with battery life, and multi-shot.
See question #8 and add the wrist brace to know why I was a lazy ass and didn't take it out.

Milos told me to tell you guys it was great riding with you.


Great TR and pics guys. What a window of weather we hit!
Woke up today to more precip. (after passing out on the couch ).

[subtle plague]

uh oh i like questionaires!

I was so fortunate to be writing my final paper.
But i know now that much of the warming during the last 20 years in the alps is not because of global warming! It's the NAO's fault. pray for a negative NAO pattern = pray for a good winter. (colder AND more precip).

and greg: marius is "studying in switzerland" now. And no one invites you along because they're scared of instant death following your tracks hrr hrr.

[toiletduck]

This is so sick. I'm going to Tignes on wednesday - stoked to see snow like this in anywhere in europe

[klar]

nice work, boys.
marius: what did you do to your back? oh, and i am inviting myself to come visit you at your new "place of study" in switzerland this winter
