@ yyzcanuck,
Manufacturing of F2 boards by GST / Austria was till last Summer,
now it's HTSG in Saalburg-Ebersburg / GDR (German Democratic Republic).
Thats near of regional municipal Schleiz / Germany.

No kurtsk8, I'm still standing here on planet Earth.

Upcomming season will be the first season, carving supplier will offer more different intermediate plates then plate-bindings for raceboards. Many other news about stuff can be reported. Please help to complete the news here. - - - - - F2 boards are now produced at a complete other factory and by ot...

Thats realy a great decision! On the Pyrenees You will find more then 200 summits which are higher than 3000 m in front of Your feets. Keep in mind, there are countrys in Europe where people like to talk a lot about their "high carving skill", which don't have any single mountain reaching up to 3000...

Thats great, uni-cycling must be realy a nice exercise for to move hisself with fun. On ours dedicated cycling adventures/travel stores there have been running videos during winter time. They shows uni-cycling on trails on Nepal's jungle trails and on Himalaya mountains. At the First of July, I also...

Yess luca85, CO²-emmission is still to high, but do You know MINERGIE® / MINERGIE® (IT) ? Since 1994 they start with them and actual 13 % of all new buildings are certificated. Most other buildings have modern oil-firing system (younger then 10 Years) and excellent isolation. E.g. overall Cement ind...

Well, Austrians Glaciers are realy good for to do some runs to get experience. Even in Autumn many exercises on a snowboard can be repeated there on that easy-run slopes. Exercises, like they are shown on this video of course too. But I'm not in common with the skill of the one-eighty's on that runs...

and Valtellina wasn't at poor snow amount for season 09/10 too! :wink: Yes, melting of glaciers on the alps is in progress, up to 1500 m of lenght in a Year, see also here! If skiing/snowboarding will be limited, it's not realy a problem. The big problem of the future will be the lack of water on lo...

@Felix Yes, it war a good day. They talked also about of +50 cm fresh snow (2200-2500 m). At the bottom of the downhill-area it was about +30 cm. At the peak, there have been maybe some vew additional Centimeters of fresh snow then the reported 50 cm (see first picture)! Your impressios match the re...

During nearly 2 weeks of some everyday precipitation (snow was falling down to 1000 m), my focus was not to any summer activities, but for sure for to go snowboarding today. More then 1200 m of downhill on fresh snow every run, was a realy nice thing! More snow now, but less riders now, that safes s...

The choose between two paradises? Why not shouldn't both paradises be enjoied during Your life? Planet Earth is the great paradise! A paradise with steep groomed slopes and a cable-car like a rising star? - see picture 1 A paradise with fresh and deep powder and a chair-lift for you only? - see pict...

Non, ce nes't pas le ballon d'Alsace - allez 174 m plus haut!

Voilá, Le Grand Ballon.

Trés petite domaine, mais avec une piste valable pour le carving (photo 2, piste C Le Slalom)
Pour le freeride dû forêt, on a besoin d'une planche come le Burton Fish.

Yes starikashka, "silent-no-internet-connection areas" can be peaceful and nice. So time to time I prefere to stand at less then 3 hours, for less then 30.- Swiss-Francs, on more then 300 cm of snow, at an altitude of 3000 m. Yes, leaving the dust of some narrow minded and decrying people, like e.g....

The Daily stories of snowboarding Carvers they like to join many of these events for alpine carving boarders during wintertime did it know. Out of the African based dance ritual, there You can find the Limbo-Carvings (e.g. at WCS Silvretta-Montafon). I don't know how good You can reflect Your circl...

The drama of melting ice and snow on Glaciers is still on progress. Last summer (2009) most of e.g. Austrian Glaciers melted about 12.5 % more then a Year before. Leading and 6 out of the top-ten of all the melting Glaciers are located at the Ötztaler alps. Thats where You can find e.g. Sölden ski-...

Die Frage nach einer "Abfahrt" in Sölden, ist immer noch nicht beantwortet. Ja, die Longboardclassics in Stuben steht morgen auch schon an, und leider, so scheints, wird der Ralph Castelberg nicht runter düsen. Schade nur, schliesslich gibt es nicht viele Snowboarder, welche sogar Ski-Resort-Direkto...
