@whatnobeer quite an armoury 🙂

Zero days for me this season and not a single day in the Alps last summer either. Depressing 🙁

Aye ... it was the Red Dupraz 6'++ he was riding - but he did borrow another one from Zero G as well. Can't remember exactly which one it was.

I shall have to try and demo one myself next season! 🙂

You shall! I'd be interested to hear how you get on. I had my eyes on the 6', but they only had it in +, which was just a bit unwieldy for me.

Personally I`d find 80 or 84 a bit narrow for Whistler but it depends how much you want to buy skis for one trip vs multiple years. Dabbling in trees is a ton of fun but better when you aren't sinking....

I've ridden some of the bowls and trees on my park skis which are 86 and fully cambered. They're not the best. I'd want something 92+ honestly for out here, but if you're a good skier you'll manage fine regardless. Also helps if they're not park skis with all the structural rigidity of the a wet noodle.

Thanks, something for all occasions there. The Salomon is the daily driver, 103 underfoot, early rise camber, heavy and stiff as all hell. Love it. Slants for power days and smashing through the trees. 4frnts for park days and messing around on. The less said about the snowboard the better :p

Junior got permission to use some historic footage from INA in one of his music vids. You might not like the music but I'm sure you'll be fascinated by the skiing:

So ... the nights are drawing in and 'Winters Coming' and I'm already thinking of next year's season.

Recently picked up my 'Early Bird' Pass for Fernie and a trip to Japan may be on the cards ... 🙂 🙂

When does the 2017/2018 season thread start CFH? 😉

Junior is still skiing In Les Deux alpes so the season can't be finished yet. 30cm of fresh the last time he rang.
