When I read the reply to McFussel's post ("This is the place to be!!!"):

I was in Soelden (Austria) last week.
And I was amazed by the number of hardbooters.
I would guess about 30-40% of snowboarders rode plates!
... I'm wondering which country has the higher ratio of alpine snowboarders. I have the feeling that Austria is on the first place.
Am I wrong?
I only know Switzerland and France, but I would love to ride in Austria or at any place with many carvers.
The ratio of "extreme carvers" is another question

Hi guys,
1) There are no extremecarvers here in Tahoe, California as I know of. Wait, I am an extreme carver...well, an inspired extremecarver.
2) I started hardboots in Montreal. At Mt St-Sauveur, specially at Avila, you will always see a carver or a group of carvers (all windsurfers during the summer).
3) I heard Mt St-Anne near Quebec city has a fair number of good carvers as well. Pele, please confirm...
Now that the extremecarving site is online, there will be a "few good men" who will be inspired extreme carvers. Unfortunately, the weekend wheather forecast call for 15C in temperature with a BIG sunshine.
Aaaah, California...

Hi Fivat,
well I guess Sölden is a big place for hardboot riders - when I was in Voralberg yesterday (my parents life on the lake constance), my friend and I whre the only ones there who where carving
The had even a carving slope, but not stall enough and noone carving there.
So in Sölden are lot of stupid riders - but there are some very good too.
But I thing lots of them are comming from Germany (as I do) or Austria.
So....whereever the may come from - it´s good to see them (and for me to learn from them)
