rm cya Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 After all the talk about Snowboarding, Skiing, Resorts, Equipment i thought id make a thread where everyone can post up pictures/videos of their trips, kit, recommend resorts and DEALS!!! and all other info about being a 'gay on a tray' or a 'twin plank w**k*r' (general banter, no offence meant ) Heres my most recent trip: Mammoth Mountain, California. SOOOOOO much POW!! over 6 metres of snow, so the groomers were soft as sh-t, and the pow was unreal!!! fresh tracks made every day!!! we had a beginner with us.... that couldnt stop Would recommend Mammoth all day long! Not the biggest resort but the quality of slopes is amazing, and the amount of snow you get is we payed £1100 for 10 days, flights, accommodation, 9 day lift pass, truck hire. Not bad when everyone wanted £800/900 for 1 week in Austria with hardly any snow. Currently riding a Bataleon Jam 157. Amazing at bashing the piste, and effortless when off piste. just a bit difficult when in the park hitting boxes. so, im looking to get a 2nd board for jibbing, pressing and a general play when cruising down the slope - going for a K2 WWW Rocker 151 All info on resorts, cameras, skis/boards, resorts....post up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rm cya Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah definately mate! I love Austria (mayrhoffen), would like to hit a few of the other resorts! Who you book with and how much if you don't mind me asking? Or did you do it all separate again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddles Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sweet pics dude! Jealous!! I won't get the chance to go this year, but we'll be heading to Saalbach next year for two weeks. Only been to Tignes before and I could have happily 'lived' on the slopes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm cya Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Cheers mate! Was last march so I'm having withdrawal symptoms and getting angry at the fact I haven't gone away yet! Lol. Hopefully booking a weekend away with the GF, but I'm in the middle of organising a trip for 14 of us to Whistler end of December for 10 days!

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Great thread idea I'm off to the Alps next Thursday. Not been to the resort before its called Les Carrotz or something. I've never had a bad time in the Alps so should be good. I will put some pics up when I get back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickledSushi Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have my second ski holiday of the year at the weekend! Sadly i am going to Scotland and the conditions are arse! I was up the Cairngorms last weekend which still had some decent snow on the top half of the mountain - full cover from top to mid stations. I would advise going early if that's where you are headed as it was mobbed due to the small number of runs open - I think they stopped selling passes around mid-morning on Sunday! Not been able to get abroad this season due to lack of funds so need to get my fix from the sh1tty conditions here unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rm cya Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Jibbing FTW!! That's why I'm buying a 2nd board! Gona be my jib stick! Basically butters, presses, hitting kickers over the slope, pretty much jumping everything and anything across the slope 180s, 360s etc. it's a style to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski train from St Pancras direct to the Alps. http://www.eurostar.com/UK/uk/leisure/d ... h_Alps.jsp I get a SILLY discount on the Eurostar through work so I reckon I'll get something booked up soonish!!

I have just had a quick look around the webcams for Cairngorms, Glenshee and The Lecht. Depressed is the word i would use........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
