I've been invited to go on a shop demo week, partly subsidised by Burton and with the opportunity to trash - sorry, I mean try out - nice shiny Burton kit.
Not exactly sure when but should be late Jan/early Feb. The place will be Flims / Laax.
I'm just hoping that the promises don't fall through.

oooh, just checked out the Burton boards on that extremesports site mentioned on another thread. That Raven board looks nice (a little bit freestyle, a little bit freeride) - i wonder whether the demo will have any of those available....
I can see that I'll have to make sure that my Timeless doesn't get jealous

I'm off to the afore mentioned Alpee Dee trip with the boys Robertson and Prior. I think I might try to sneek in a cheeky trip to Serbia to visit the in-laws in January/March and get a weekend at Kaopanik if I can. Can't wait.....need snow.

before this invite came up i was seriously thinking about going on a McNab course to experience some proper off piste action and learn about what's safe and what's not. I was really up for looking for something new.
but the guys that are going on the shop trip are a good bunch and so I'll probably postpone the off piste course until next year now

Kev,i invited myself!
Hopefully i'll be bring some of the Muppets from the Weymouth Massiv'!
Don't care about the off piste too much (Don't think Saalbach will be ever bettered will it Phil) ,just as long as theres some Snow,but it would be nice.

It will take a cracker to better that week in Saalbach that's for sure. Still we have the Sarenne to time ourselves down and also the heli trip to Les Deux Alpes to keep us occupied.
Depending on the conditions, and if there is the event of some good powder we can get a guide for a day. If not just cruise the pistes. I'm gonna stay out of the park I think but there's a nice hut I want us to take a look at Mr T.

La Grave........when we went there was not enough snow & in all honesty i was too crap to board it...but this year...

Going back to Livigno this year... Had such a good time last year... only problem was not getting as much boarding dine as I should have....
A mates stag do and another 10 dayer with my Worcester homies - Tignes is being discussed at the moment... but really want to try for St. Anton again this year. Especially after seeing all the nice piccies in last months SnowboardUK mag

Dan, you made me realise - do we actually have any girl boarders on this forum?
There are plenty of girl skiers on the Other Side and there are plenty of girls over in goneboarding.

.........er not that i know of, I don't think there were any on the SKGB forum? My gf boards but i try to keep her away from the computer.
I've stuck around here most of the time as i find goneboarding annoying, not functionality as that's fantastic, maybe i'm just tooooo old for it.........too many silly arguments. Still browse gb and adrenaline trip every so often.

i agree about goneboarding's forums - too random to develop any real conversation (assuming that you have to try to fit in some work at the same time...)
I liked it for a while but haven't actually looked in it for ages

Mr T. La Grave???? Is that not supposed to be most treacherous???? even for the top of the tree advanced boarders? Still, If I was going to buy the farm, where better to be? (only joking). Interesting thought though. mmm ( a ponderous expression on my face).

No boarder chicks here unfortunately (would lead to some good banter I'm sure). My g/f does not board or ski and it took me some time to explain why I felt it necessary to have 3 trips to the mountains last year. I can never decide wether her not being a "snowsports" person is a good or a bad thing.

I am in the same boat Mr p. At least its an excuse for a lads holiday!!! (Don't tell Clare I said that)- Only joking Clare (grovel, grovel!!!)

I board on and off, but prefer skiing to be honest,
Im going to Arinsal in March and then the BUSC trip in april + try and squeeze in a few trips up to the highlands, providing theres enough snow!

I'm fortunate that the better half is a nutter on skis (as some of you know) so I have no problems getting to the mountains. She does get a bit miffed when I start banging on about boarding and the next trip around May/June though.

I spoke too soon - it turns out that the shop trip will no longer be a Burton event and it will now be in Tignes (a good resort but i was looking forward to trying somewhere new).
But, it is still the same group of guys and they have sorted out some great accommodation for peanuts. Going on first class Eurostar on 14 Jan for 8 days.
Looks like my Timeless will have no reason to be jealous afterall.

I'm off to Whistler many times this year, hopefully every weekend or second weekend. I'm going to University in Vancouver this year, so I'm not too far, and am able to get a seasons pass for $350 Canadian (around 170 pounds) and stay overnight for $18 Canadian (around 8 pounds). I'm very excited, without deals like this through the University there would be no way I could go, as I'd hav to pay something ridiculous like $1500 for the seasons pass and probably at least $100 per night to stay there.

I normally post on the other subjects - as I'm the 'other way inclined', but as a local to ADH and having just seen the New and Improved FACE TO FACE Shop on the high street opposite the outside swimming pool. It is worth a visit and merits a big Plug!!
