You could snowboard here, we are due for 6-9" by tomorrow.
Was talking to my friend in New Hampshire yesterday.
She said they have a 4′ base at her ski resort.
She told me that if you get off the trail you sink up to the crotch!

On a side note Steve, i got my mugs this afternoon mate. thanks a million for your help. in a nutshell, yours are far better quality and i only wished i had got you to do them in the first place. i copied you in on that email i sent my supplier. "i still havent had my 4th or 5th sample back yet! :-?" and yours comes in two days later… says it all eh!

anyway… enjoy your break mate, and i will keep you upto speed on your return, regarding the mugs. 😀

they are superb Chris thanks again.
I didnt reply sooner as I was packing.
I may take the cable car over the other side to courmayeur too Ian, never been to that resort.
Cya soon all.
Ill probably pop in from a cafe as well I suppose, especially if im in a full body cast, I wont have a lot else to do, get wheeled in there and stay on the net all day. 😛

[Ian Bingham]

Try it on monday, we’ve have 3 inches of slush forcast

[Steve Underhill]

Dont need a 193, I did the flying kilometre in Les arc on powder, that was plenty fast enough on a Custom155, got a Custom X 160 now with Triad bindings so light and fast.
Lovely.
And "only" half a metre will do fine thank you, had about 6 feet one night last time I was in Chamonix, in 1997.
That was the year I got stabbed a week before I went, that was sore, still had the stitches in my back, but nice soft landings from 30 foot jumps lol

[Nicola McIntosh]

nice one steve…..have a great time 😀

[Graeme Speirs]

Steve,
Climbed and skied in Chamonix, I’ve always thought it is one of the best resorts in europe. I always wanted to ski the Mer de Glace, the climb down onto the glacier from the cable car is exciting and the views all around are breathtaking.
Have a good time

Steve

[Steve Underhill]

IM back now just got in an hour ago.
Been a brilliant week some of the resort was shut for 3 days as there was too much snow and with Chamonix being so steep it was avalanche ville, in fact I rode past one yesterday, while the pisteurs were digging a few people out, had 48 hours of solid snow with no let up, so suffice to say Thursday was excellent, Friday was a bit slushy but altogether an epic week one of the best in my 13 years boarding, now I want to go back there.

Mayrhofen is good too, just don’t like the old Penkenbahn gondola trip each morning, makes taking camcorders and special gear out of the question.
I like to be able to ride back to my door, I know Chamonix is buses everywhere too though so not ideal for it either,
Cant wait for Next year.

[Ian Bingham]

welcome back, that seemed quick!

[Steve Underhill]

7 days flies by when you’re out there, I even got chicken tortellini on the flight again,
deja vu from last flight eh.

[Ian Bingham]

lookin forward to monday morning? (hot) 😥

[Chris Wool]

monday hes got to work tomorrow like some of us.

welcome back wheres me stick of rock 😉

[Steve Underhill]

Monday I have to do 108 placemats that I know of, countless signs that have fallen down in the wind, and who knows how many T shirts, I even got a text to say GMTV was filming in looe right by my big sign I did for the mackerel tripping boats and local businesses.
Good advert it was I just saw it, Lisa taped it for me.

[Graeme Harrold]

Great to hear you had a good time, even if there was too much snow….

Now get that nose back on the grindstone…….your holiday is over…. :lol1:
