    That's awesome! Curious how long It took that dude to find and link all of those lines.

    That helped me get a little skiing fix in, thanks for the sweet vid link...... Now just (im)patiently waiting for snow to come (sound of drumming fingers).

    Holy shit! My local hill opened last weekend and I need to get out.
    He must have ripped the crap out of his baselayer.

    HA! It's the one gigantic perk of my job and my former life. I have very cheap transportation to Switzerland and to Samnaun once there. All I have to pay for is the lodging and lift tickets there. It's just a long weekend. Wednesday - Sunday morning. I'll leave Tuesday night and be back to Norfolk on Monday afternoon. Crazy stuff.

    I like the get in and get out style---do your business and get out before anyone knows your there. Never skied that part of Switzerland before, looks pretty cool!


    The original vid is neat, I love his stone grinds, my kind of tuning technique.

    I did that two years ago two. Flew into ZRH landing on Thursday and was picked up in front of the airport 30 minutes or less after touchdown. Drove the 3 or so hours to Saas-Fee and enjoyed a good dinner. The next morning up at dawn skiing. Same the following day and early Sunday morning. Drove back to ZRH and was on the plane on Monday morning. Barely slept. Ski, eat, drink, shower, bed. Repeat.

    wow. mind=blown.

    bc is so full of retardedly good skiers, it's kind of scary.

    I'm starting to get itchy to get out as well, but the hills around here aren't usually in good condition until late dec/early jan. Mind you, i'm pretty spoiled with my local hills.

    JP Auclair. One of the original Canadian Air Force guys. It's great that he is still going strong.

    That terrain looks about as bare as the Utah mountains right now. A day of skiing = half a stick of p-tex.
