It's correct. The machine made snow (actually it is snow made of water and air) is more dense and produces a more solid base on the slope, covering rocks and so on far better than the natural stuff. That is good for our precious boards. However, natural snow on top is the best. Our local slopes open...

Oppdal camp on Norwegian TV
Thanks to Pokkis for another successful camp with much weather, from snowfall and powder to the real carving thing. Norwegian regional TV visited us at Thursday, filmed and made some interviews. Here is the result shown on Norwegian TV. http://www.nrk.no/nett-tv/distrikt/ . Click Carving på Oppdal. ...

Congratulations with your debut. I totally agree with Frunobulax. Give up those bindings and try your skiboot liners in the snowboard boots. It is not good economy to save money on the cheapest equipment and get hurt instead. F2 Carve RS might be a good choice. They are solid and not too stiff. They...

In Norway we have an age limit to run carving boards. You have to be at least 50 :D Younger people can be permitted only after application and evaluation by a committee. For me, EC is a natural actiity when you age. You are always close to the ground so the falls do not hurt that much. The jumps wit...

Hi, I only can subscribe to all the compliments above. It was great and for me personally it is a good feeling that I still can do the laid, linked turns on the steep slopes at my age. Well, now I am back in Oslo at work and looking out on a snowstorm outside my office window. There has been traffic...

Hi, Regarding bindings: Choose the F2 Race titaniums. The Proflex bindings may be a little bit too soft. (Proflex and F2 are the same, but changed name). However, since the Proflex are cheap you may buy a pair for spare parts like bails. Boots: Skiboots do not work. They are far too stiff both forwa...

This issue has been discussed in a lot of threads. I have no experience with soft boots, but generally you should not have any overhang. Otherwise, you will skid in the turns. To answer, your other questions I would recommend you to read through the Technique section on the EC-website and watch care...

First of all I will congratulate Pokkis with a very good translation. It seems to me that when you come to Oppdal this winter you do not need to speak English at all. Then thanks to Whitey who picked it up. Since I am one of the guys that is mentioned in the article, and some of you may have noticed...
