Soelden 1-5 November

Post by Silber » Tuesday 19 September 2006, 9:40

Guys, I know I already talked about this in the Hungarian Post, but we (I, Francesca, Istvan, Alex) are planning to go to Soelden from November 1st to November 5th for the opening of the snowboard season... Thus, let us know if you are going to be there, so maybe we can organize a little carving session.

Ciao a tutti

I'll be around on Saturday that weekend. Just started alpine boarding last season with an old Oxygen board and it was sheer madness, compared to riding a freeride-board. So I can't wait to try some Virus-Snowboards :twisted:

Guess there will be hundreds of thousands of people in Sölden, that weekend!?

stubai or hintertux are good resort in Austria!
other could be tignes or saas fee...but i think that austria is easy to get to for
most of us!
the weather forecast for this weekend in austria glaciers say "rain"...
i pray for snow instead :pray: :pray: :pray:

yes the planet is reactive to the pollution in this way, today the temperature at Sölden is 9° at 3200... and it's raining :cry:
I think that i will change my destination with saas-fee or tignes, both are at 3600 and snow condition are good ...patrix: from bergamo tignes is easy to reach.

bye
Alex

There is some activity on the glacier today!

Some cold weather is forecasted.

So hopefully it is doable. Have a good time!

Greets, Hans.
