I think, it will be me taking tips from her

I am looking to drive up there - do I need a 4x4 to get up the mountain road?

Hi Patrice, Hello for the 2018 season, first of all! :-) regarding the kitesurfing, I think you help make my point. In kitesurfing (a sport where, yes, I dropped £1000+ on a kite) at least you know, you have to stump up xx cash to participate, but then you have EVERYTHING. Whereas, I think an elemen...

Hands up who hasn't been waiting for this post. :-) I think the advice should be, if you go for hardboots, spend the extra for injection moulded inners from the outset *unless* you have the feet dreamed of by the designers... save other liner testing costs and half a season? Most hard boot liners ar...

Hi joemzl,
Are you passing through the Zurich region?
cheers

Hi EC'ers,

Is anyone going to the Carving Masters event in Sölden on weekend of 28th April?
cheers,
Slayer.

Thanks tali and Capykiller, It's a small step for man, but a giant leap for EC! :-) I will try this at the weekend. Laax Vorab glacier seems the best place at the moment, as everywhere is melting and slushy. I went to Laax last Saturday, but the glacier was closed due high winds. I did the highest r...

LOL about Brexit, I think it is safe to say no British skier or boarder ever voted for that, since most of our sport is done in Europe! :-) I want to correct myself about point 2 I wrote above, it seems there are 2 styles? The one in Petr's videos seems to indicate being more upright going into the ...

Hi Wouter, I am probably not qualified to give advice, being a beginner myself. And yeah, backside turn is still my nemesis, so I feel your pain, and which is why I feel compelled to post. it is fortunate you have someone to document your progress, as someone already said, what you *think* you are d...

Thanks Capykiller. Is it critical how much to take off, or do I just make the ridge fit right-angles to the boot? Would you be able to show a closeup? Sorry to be 'precious' - I haven't yet drilled holes in expensive boots! :-) I better go to my storage to find my Dremel! One thing about living in S...

Hi all, When I place the bottom piece against the slot on the boot, as per the picture, in this area, the boot surface not flat, but a curve. Do I need to sand it flat? It is not mentioned in the PDF, but the video shows this area sanded down a bit (i think, picture is not that sharp). (sorry, the p...

Hi joemzl, yes I saw that post, and very interesting it was too. I just posted a one-liner there, as my German language skills are terrible! :-) I bought the Oakley Flight Deck with initially the Black Iridium lens (because it looked cool!) but since switched the lens to the Rose, for low light use....

My first ever Swoard event, and it was a pleasure to meet you all. While my 2.5yr old son was getting his first ski lesson, 'Daddy' was also getting lessons from the very patient Arnaud! I just wish, I could recognise you all from dinner, to the pistes in your ski clothes! Many thanks to Julia, for ...
