I like my fat skis but you are definitely missing out!! |
I don't think so. I've skied piste skis (only rentals though) and, to be honest, wasn't blown away. But you have to bear in mind that I am still a relative newb - have only done 11 weeks in 2.5 seasons - and of those, only 4 weeks on piste skis. The rest of the time on the Pilgrims, which are skinny-ish!
I can't see myself going sub-90mm as I do more off piste.

fatbob, you da man. I wish I could slarve my turns as good as you but I'm clearly far too square and am far too old-school to introduce that nu-skool sliding sideways into all of my on-piste turns on my 100mm skis

Sideshow_Bob, I know my limitations and the perfect carve is one of them. I'm never going to get my Ted the Shred 360 deg badge either. Anyway 100mm, do they still make mens' skis that skinny?

Hey, steady on, I might be delusional about the chances of prising open midgetbikers wallet, but I haven't been on the sauce. . . just yet!
Just arrived in Cham, lovely sunny day!

midgetbiker, I suspect it's SZK-speak for "A package - long enough to fit a crocodile - has arrived at the boot lab for you." Of course, that is a wild guess and I will deny it vehemently if I'm wrong

Zero-G I'm glad you explained that, I had no idea what he was talking about either, but you'll be right - it'll be a box alright with a nice new ice axe in it . . . not bright enough to work out the crustaceous/reptile reference, but I'm sure it'll come to me shortly . . . perhaps I need a drink afterall!
SMALLZOOKEEPER thank you for looking after my crusty reptile, please leave it in the box and don't put your hand inside. . . . got any beers left?

Thread rot? Just rot mostly I think. . . Ah so what? We all love Whitedots, why not talk about something else?
Any one in Cham next week? I'm here on my tod (SZK excepted) . . . save me from his crabby 'wit' someone please.

scotia, nope. But I do have a rule: if I can't carry it, then I can't pack it. So I'll be sacrificing a few other things.
ww166no, with good angles and the right light most things are possible

Zero-G, given the weather we've had this year we are desperate for action shots. Anything with Whitedots blasting through powder will do, I can supply Whitedots but where we'll get some powder I don't know.
I'm around Chamonix a fair bit over the next 8 weeks, maybe we can see if we can beat the pro's at their own game. ww166no will be there too, don't worry

ww166no, a few of the shots from the couloir in the Vallee in Jan look pretty good. I tried to pry them off the laptop of our Ragnarok telemarking photographer in Munich but he insists he will post them to a web album, so we will have to wait.

midgetbiker, I'm up for it too, am in Les Gets from the 12th but willing to travel to help out....especially if you can find me some powder!

Ok, someone convince me to buy Redeemers instead of Super S7s Both available for about the same price... must resist temptation....
