I'm not from Poland, but from Slovakia. As long as I know, there is no exceptional skiing anywhere around Krosno. You need to drive 200 km to reach big mountains (the High Tatras). I'm rather...

I am not jumping on the bandwagon. They are girls, that is awesome, but is it going to be really different from any other ski movie released in recent years? After watching the trailer, I do not...

Graphics!

Beginner?
Some old school straight skis. No, this is not a joke.
Of course, if she cares about technique and such rubbish.

Never had problem with mine (Free 14.0). I think they come with that bashed biometric toe. Some people just overthink it. If someone can ski Glacier Rond on 'sloppy' Fritschi, someone can ski Markers...

The bottom width is 60mm.

Went to Kralova hola (Nizke Tatry) yesterday. Looks like Fatra is going to get more snow than eastern ranges again.

I would think twice about skiing Murren / Grindelwald this weekend. Lauberhorn in Wengen is on with combined on Fri, downhill on Sat and slalom on Sun. The entire Lauterbrunnen valley is a shitshow...

Last time I was in Bilthoven the shop was closed and they were moving out (I think). Sometimes in summer / fall.

Edit: Google Maps says there moved to Julianalaan. Before, there was a store on the...

BC is here. We have Tatras and Fatras. No very snow sure though.

You MENTALLY are one for sure. At least over the internet.
Back in the day TGR used to be way friendlier. Now it's all I have bigger balls and ski better than you armchair extreme 160mm waist...

Easy boy.
I live in Slovakia. We get less than 1 feet per season. My local hill is all man-made snow. And, I weight only 62kg, so no need for silly waists in my case.

An interesting thread. Maybe a bit of off topic, but I will contribute.
I find that skiing on skis ''not suitable'' for conditions you ski in, helps a lot with overall strength and endurance. Maybe...

In Chamonix, only Grands Montets plans to open on 10th December (snow permitting). The rest of lifts on 17th December. Bear that in mind.

Just have visited Compagnie du Mont Blanc web. It says that Grand Montets should open on December, 17. Can anyone back it up? I thought they open on December, 3 (snow levels permitting).

Bonjour...

The winter solstice (December 22nd) officially starts winter. We should be patient.
Saying that, I booked a mid-December trip to Chamonix ...

You can get to Engelberg by direct train in less than 1 hour.

Interesting concept.
What about a considerable length of that platform? I guess the fact that it is rather long must have some drawbacks (flex?).

Edit: I noticed multiple holes so moving...

The pair I've (Montana 2) was made in China. Solid boots though. I love mine.

It started snowing at my place. Looks like there is more to come over the weekend.

The winter solstice was just 3 weeks ago. We will get our share. It looks like I might be spending the entire season in Slovakia. It should be below the freezing point on Thursday. The forecast I've...

Krompachy. It's on the main railway line, halfway between Kosice and Poprad.

Looks like we were lucky being in Muerren last weekend. I've just come to Slovakia and it is raining. What the hell, it is January, not April. The forecast does not look good at all (for Slovakia)....

Thanks for the advice. BTW I've found the website with Swiss school holidays for all regions.

It says no holidays for 2nd week of February, too. I'm still inclined...

I plan to spend 1 week in Valais, somewhere south of Martigny (La Fouly, Champex, etc.). Is 1st or 2nd week of February a good time to go? I'm after some powder obviously, but how is it with crowds,...

Sorry dude, couldn't make it as there was no train connection on Friday. I was stuck in Utrecht.

Dude, he skis in Europe. The customs charges + shipping kill the deal.

FYI Dutch mags, some movies will be shown tonight (Friday) in Amsterdam (Boerhaaveplein 28). Starting at 7pm, organized by wepowder.nl I will be there if someone wants to have a beer or two. Look for...

It could have been way worse though if it was your passport, not just photocopy. I grew up in Eastern Europe. You could (and still can) sell your passport on black market. Around 200 USD or so. Made...

Yeah I will contact the Dutch post office as Tippster said. My friend has the notice, but it doesnt say on the notice which depot my parcel is at. She has not been to any office or depot. Im not sure...

Good call on Dragon DX. Check out DXS, fits smaller faces.

I've been using Trekkers for one season and I found them ok for ascents up to 1,500 ft. I've heard that they don't work quite well with Look / Rossi binders. I haven't tried, neither Solly. Trekkers...

Finnish troops are trained to ski as a part of winter warfare. They were especially effective during the Winter War against the Russians. I'm pretty positive both Sweden and Norway do have troops...

Most shoots (if not all) are from Mala Fatra mountain range. Easy access and one of the best places for touring.

Quality. I'm Slovak native. Slamming my head against the wall right now why I moved to the Netherlands.

Thanks for replies everyone.

Yeah I was searching a bit more about HH sizing and found on a few sites that if you are in between sizes you should order smaller as they tend to fit large. I think...

Want to pull trigger on one Helly Hansen shell. I'm M in most pants (32 waist) and between S/M in jackets, hoodies. I'm 5.8 feet (176 cm) and 141 pounds (64 kg). I wonder if I should order small or...

No offense but if you ask the question you asked then you would not notice any difference in binders. 914 is a good compromise for DIN, weight, durability.

Good clamps. Mount them up, bend brakes if needed.

Whatever you can get cheaper. Go longer if you do mach 2.
