Fis World Cup opens every year in October in Landgraaf.

Longest indoor snowhall in the world, with chairlift.

It's fun for a couple of hours.

In summer some national ski and snowboardteams come to train here.

And the apres ski is in the weekends more fun than in Fire and Ice :tongue:

In such a case russians always tell that this person had enlarged his lips significantly and special device or medicine needed to get it in normal size :-)

Istvan :-) maybe you also need a cheerleader girls in bikini or without it nearby the boarder of the slope :-)

I don't think you can do more than two consecutive laid down carves if you're really good....there is a steep ramp in the beginning but halfway it becomes less steep. Nice hard slope and well groomed in the morning. But a bit busy around weekends and holidays during and just before the season.

I heard some talkings about a steeper run in Zoetermeer and some vague project in Belgium that would even feature a black slope in a former qaurry.

I'm coming from Woerden. It's possible that my car will be filled with carvers from Woerden/Bodegraven.

Woerden is not very pratical by the way, to drive over Arnhem. Didn't know you have so much carvers overthere.

So far eight carvers/Swoarders from Belgium and The Netherlands will be there.

We still have enough indoor space left for more.... the more there, the more fun!

Please let me know if you join us in Landgraaf.

Have a nice trip. The snow is still missing in Oslo. Mild and rainy till now, but some wet snow in the hills this morning. However, the mountain resorts are opening up, 3 - 4 hours drive by car.
Good luck at your indoor event.

Thanks Harald, see you in Zinal!

There is a Dual in Woerden. The driver of this Dual is not sure to attent 'Lets Swoard' at this moment.

We will see...
