@The Blitz
You shouldn't pray for it - You should do it! (see picture below)

By the way, what do You think about that free of CO² - scenario (beside TGV du neige):
- You, just You, at sun-shine on 2222 m over seelevel with Your backpack on fresh powder snow, with a sweet view to steep mountains and down to a lake on about 400 m.
- You close sunday afternoon at 15.15 hour the levers of Your bindings for starting a downhill of 1560 m of high (on excellent conditions possible are 1800 m of high).
- taking the lowest section of a panorama-gondola (about 4-5 min).
- walking with Your hardboots about only 100 m to the next gateway.
- entering train, train leaves at 16:03 hour.
- one time - and only one single time, You change the train at Zürich mainstation (17:22) and You take TGV-Lyria (18:02) to Paris (40 minutes to wait: You can go shopping on great Zurich shpping mall on mainstation or visit Zurich "Bahnhofstrasse", or Limmatquai)
- arriving 22:34 hour in the evening at Paris-Est
(Time in train 5:51 hours/ (TGV 4h 32') Total travel-time needed: 6:32 hours)
Taking at Paris-Est Métro & RER for arrive at home.

@starikashka
There are steeper parts of mountains You wouln't see there rotracks following me (even not on-hook of a cable).
..... and break the necks .... I often read about some injury of the Virus related German carvers - I don't know how they carve, to acheive injurys at all.
Funny story: I read once a review from such a German carver from a swiss resort I never visited before. Last week a local carver buys a bord from me. I ask him where he goes snowboarding. He talked also from that resort. He should to go there every Year, for visit his godchild. Well, the German talk enthusiastic from the wide and steep slopes. So I asked for a feedback for the similar slope of the Swiss carver - he was talking from boring and to easy slopes!

Aloha, Nidecker Rave! I hold one in my hands Dezember 31. It's a children and beginner-board with Rim-core. Would be fine for Kids or Teens riding with hardboots and due of the high nose NdK Rave is good for riding off-piste for them!

have a look to the sidecuts!

- Nidecker Rave : 160 x 22 --> 7.7 m
- Nitro Range : 167 x 22.7 --> 8.5 m
- Burton E-Decks : 163 x 22 --> 9.17 m
- Oxygen FR : 167 x 21.5 --> 10.0 m
- Burton Alps : 169 x 21.5 --> 10.2 m

i think he will not leave his cave and mammut fur as this can be occupied by other fanatic of nature

Or you need to help him to find appropriate cave and furs close to Barthelemy slope

Wurm.

Is this a "yes"?
Will there be special lessons in "proper" carving with you (maybe starting with J&P as your first students)?

starikashka, You dont's visit Zinal this Year? perhaps Dmitri Medwedew or Wladimir Putin will come this Year to Switzerland!
Do Your friends wish to carve, or to do freeriding closer then 1 km to territory of russia, when they visit Switzerland for ECF-2009 ? (about 2 hours more on train/car to travel - similar, or steeper areas like Zinal)

Merry christmas to starikashka and enjoy fine Olivie today!

skywalker, I'm Schneewurm, not Wurm or worm!
Should be there any one small reason for me, to go to ECS?
e.g. I'm living on clear air and all people here are on clear mind, without breathing everydays "alpine-smog" from euro-trucks like in Innsbruck. So there is no demand to go to other fresh-air area. Similiar things for water here. River Inn is leaving Switzerland as a clean water river, just ask Bavaria what the think about clean water from Inn!

Post by **skywalker** » Wednesday 7 January 2009, 11:44

Wurm.

I told you the one and only possible reason already:
All of us would be so incredibly glad, if we could learn from you - not only, how to ride properly, but also, how the world goes round. I think, in real life you could be even mor worthy than in this forum.

Imagine, how much more your words in here would count, if you could prove to everybody, that it's not only words...

Could you please explain the influences of Inn's water quality and dusted air to carving abilities? Insome way, I think I missed the point...
