Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Les Arc 1950 11th-17th Feb 2006

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Apart from me, is anyone about in the Les Arc area during this next week?

I'm over there with a fairly big group at 1950, but the kids are in ski school most days so I could meet up to say hello and even grab a few runs with any snowHeads knocking about.

Cheers


Marc

I arrive on the 1st and fly home on the 6th - it's the AGM for our owners committee, so just a quick trip to attend the meeting and squeeze in a few days skiing.

I'll be in Vallandry from the 11th - 18th February. If the weather is nice I'll probably be in a yellow and black down jacket and black salopettes. I'll be skiing either Atomic TC9s with Frischiti bindings or I'll be telemarking (badly) in Crispi CXT touring boots on Fischer Boundless nordic touring skis with Voile release bindings. If I'm using the latter I'll probably stand out a mile as I very rarely see any telemarkers in resort in France.

I've seen quite a few more in Les Arcs this season than I've seen before, including a few telemark classes. Sadly none of them had the elegance of a really good telemarker, but hopefully that will come Smile

Last year in Alpe D'Huez I saw once group containing telemarkers, they were heading off piste as we headed down the Sarenne black and they turned out to be snowHead s aswell. I think that was it all week.

2 of my fellow owners in 1950 telemark all the time, - and are doing their level best to get me to join them. Experts? - as far as I am concerned, they are bl**dy brilliant ( and yes, elegant) - you don't go off the back of Aguille Rouge and down couloir Lanchettes in telemarks unless you know what you're doing methinks (or unless you don't know what you are letting yourself in for...).

And happy to keep up with us boring old fixed plankers all day everyday, both pistes and in-and-out of the trees in Plan Pesiey. Of course they are far more knackered at the end of the day...

Damn site better than me. Can usually manage to tele down pisted reds as long as its not too bumpy. If it gets steep or moguly or the quality of the snow is not the best I tend to stick to paralel turns (on the telegear). Off piste, steep moguls etc I'd probably prefer my AT kit. I blame it on the low ankles soft flexing touring boots and nothing at all to do with my technique Smile
