Aaaaahhhh Yeah snow, snow snow! and plenty of it, and plenty more to come! But I injured myself even before touchig the snow, maybe in 2 weeks time.

When you see it you recognize the suit.

There are some skihills within the citylimits of Stockholm, but that's not more/better than the dry slopes you find in the UK (although these are covered with snow). The temperature could be very cold, but not colder than it gets in the Alps. The main difference could be the longer dark nights. There are some resorts that are a 3 hour busride away, I forgot the names. (sorry not much of a help) You can book a weekend trip in Stockholm including bus or train.

You don't have an Emmentaler cheese speed suit like the swiss alpineskiracers (used to) wear?

Good place to make a stop-over to or from Europe

That is a great game. 570 so far

so when is it 14/15 or 28/29?

There have been a few other games on the forum. try search

I thought he was looking for a most dedicated forum posters? either way it was an easy search.

powder skiing is not fun. It is life lived to the fullest! Ok the quote was longer but this is all I remebered of it.

That was a good one! I needed a good laugh. Sorry I can't come up with better/worse ways to dump/get dumped.

can't see them either

or find a steeper hill.

I remember a story from 15 years ago about parents skiing with children on their backs. The child had been frozen to death!!! That is scary. That was still the period that there weren't as many chairlifts so you didn't have to get them off your back to get on a chair at the end of every run (and was able to check how the child was doing) Still if you fall, you might tumble over and crush your child. I have done it once from the restaurant in Knadatsu to the parking lot. That is very flat but you can never be sure that nothing will happen.

I don't think it will stick on the plastic very long.

Thought it was a regular picture, but it is a webcam! That's cool.

It's Zermatt you can see the Matterhorn

That is what I meant to say.

If you are bored at work and none of your friends are stalking the SJ site have a look at this. http://www.skiicon.com funny game Some nice wipe-outs And for the aussies out there check out this weeks tech news (and understand why picking up american girls will be much harder this winter).

stay there don't ski there.

Hmm tempting to go asap!

You mean Salzburger Sportwelt Amade? There are some nice lines there but it depends on where you go. As it is an accumulation of several resorts connected by bus. Zauchensee is you best bet I think. avoid Flachau (flach means flat is german and it really is flat) except for the apresski.

Quote: Originally posted by obm: a place either indoors or outdoors where throngs of ski/boardwear clad people congregate to have all sorts of spirits and talk about the days adventure from 4pm all the way to dinner time Dinner time can be stretched pretty far I guess. I know plenty of places where you can see people stumble around on skiboots clumsily clutching their skis at 2am. But more and more apres ski places close around 7pm for an hour to make sure everyone gets home and have something to eat before the take on the night routine.

Well there should be enough snow right now. I thought the glacier was closed during the winter? In the summer there is usually a decent park.

As a uni Ski club member can't you get a discount somewhere?
