Don't pay attention what Pokkis said, not worth of it, as slopes will be crowded as h3ll:

Well the vid which I received today from Pokkis is nice. Attack from Nature.

But well this pictures looks otherwise, too crowdy. Not good for attempting the scandinavian sessions :cry: :wink:

In the vid all that snowboarders are edited away!!!

Where are they :? :?

And the only purpose of skis is to stand on the piste and watch snowboarders! :twisted:

Nice vids, true quality. Just as the Tinklers are, one of the nicest ride I have ever made till so far on a snowboard.

Well if you can say that a TINKLER System is just simply a snowboard............. 8) 8)

In order to solve the queue problem in Oppdal we have to practice formation or group carving, inspired by ski schools demonstration teams. So now our secrets are revealed by Vahur. There are no empty slopes, so please do not come.

OK we had it.
Unfortunately weather this year was not perfect, we got like 50cm new snow on second day so some of us were forced to ride off piste too :wink:
Here is link to photos by Master himself, Vahur :pray2:

Great pictures, Vahur :clap2: As usual, my own camera stayed in the cabin, but when you are around it does not matter. To all the others that were not there, Vangslia is like a big wave, wide and almost empty, not as steep as Zinal but steep enough. The steepest sections of Hovden have Zinal qualities but a bit narrower so it is a real challenge.

Pity with all that snow but we managed :D . Maybe some are considering joining us for next year. It is a long journey and Norway is not cheap, but might be worth the time and money.
