Finish work on a Friday afternoon, collect snowboard, head to the pub, get drunk, catch the 1am train, arrive Mayrhofen 7.30am Saturday, check in, buy 2 day pass, board, drink, eat, sleep, board some more, catch 6.35pm train on Sunday, in bed by 2am Monday, work 8.30am Monday.

I love living in Central Europe and having a railcard paid for by the company :wink:

My advice would be simply to get the board overhauled in the resort (about 30 EURO for waxing and having the edges done), I tend to do this on the second last night of my holiday, and make sure it gets well dried on the last night. This means it is in tip-top condition next time you go away.

As for repairing gouges, I did this myself and really enjoyed it. Takes a bit of practice to get the burning of the P-Tex right so it adheres, but you really cant go too far wrong as long as you have a very sharp blade to remove any excess I recommend a pack of these for the job..... http://www.stanleytools.com/default.asp?CATEGORY=UTILITY&TYPE=PRODUCT&PARTNUMBER=11-911&SDesc=5%2DPack+1991%26%23174%3B+Regular+Duty+Utility+Blade

My first board is suffering a bit from de-lamination on the front and back but is a long way from worrying about. With my newer board I carry a tube of superglue...not for any lasting repair, but it does a fine job of temporary waterproofing.

Why not stay one night, get 2 days skiing and go straight to work on the Monday?

I say the people who devised this plan are lightweights.

Pervert :shock:

I should imagine the wheels are fairly cheap, its the chassis and engine you want to worry about mate!

How about some strobe lighting to make it more interesting??

Most effective tip for smelly feet.














DONT SMELL THEM.
