Now when this message is at Carving session page: Due to the fact, that Lech has no snow, we have to cancel the first destination of our Carving-Session Tour 2004.

i'm having DaKine bag with wheels and it says 200cm, but i've tested it only with my 186, 185 boards so no experience of longer ones.
But it is quite heavy for transport for only one board, for only one board trips i use Bomber bag :)

I tried to measure also Xtrem dreamer, and i've ended to figure of 27 degrees on low steep point of slope. Deference used to was those poles next to slope :)
Which means that slope is respectable steep but due widthness perhaps carvable also for me :think:

steep

For my eye that slope in film looks more like 20+ steep but folks who have been there can confirm.
There has been numerous threads about this steep issue and for me everything groomed over 30 degrees is really too steep.
If i remember correctly deepest WC downhill slope is in level of 38 degrees.

What is reason for this? I run normally all my carving boards with stone for better glide.
