 Poster: A snowHead
|
Maybe this should be in the equipment section ....
I'm off on my first trip of the season on Chirstmas day. I will be in Switzerland where, currently, snow cover is limited and the forecast is for cold weather with no precipitation.
So, if I leave my powder skis at home do I:
a) carry less and just enjoy being in the mountains or
b) jinx the weather into dumping while I'm there
Of course if the answer is b) then I will be without my powder skis which will be a shame but not a disaster.
So, fellow  s, do I take the big boys with me, or leave them for Austria in March?
Who goes? You decide.

Leave them, and IF there's a big dump, then rent.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I would have thought that you must take them, then at least if that ammount of white comes then you have the option.

If you want to ski powder you MUST leave them at home. Only way you'll guarentee a big dump. If you take them you're guarenteed a week of hard-pack and ice.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

stevec, I think you're right. But I just hate to leave them all lonely under the stiars. They've had a nice wax and edge and they're just ready to hit the town and I have to tell them to stay at home 
It's sad, but in my heart of hearts I know it's the right thing to do.

Zammo - if they have a nice edge, you HAVE to leave them at home. There's very little base (of snow) in France right now except what they've been able to make with the snow guns. If there's a big dump (unless it's EPIC amounts of snow), you will trash your nice edges on the rocks under all that powder. My poor skis have never recovered from Courcheval last Jan!
Keep in mind, you're doing a great thing for the rest of us who are coming to France by leaving them home  I'll know it was due to you if we get any snow this upcoming week.
Have a Happy Christmas!

Zammo, my concern is getting to Switzerland from London Town. Will my flight be cancelled on Saturday?

Just take them to bed for a couple of nights and cuddle them. THey'll be fine.
Jeez, in my day all we had to worry about was whether there was any snow...
