Hello strangers, been too long-Im spending these horribly warm and light nights watching tho usual youtube videos and planning future trips.
I turn 30 April 2013 and really want to go skiing in some decent powder. Unfortunately being a school teacher this will have to an in April. Would love to go cat skiing somewhere in utah with decent powder history.
All the sites i have read are good but nothing compares to first hand experience. Has anyone been late in season and how much would a trip cost?
Any thoughts?

Yeah i worked on that a lot last season-very hard to stop it creeping forward!

they loved this sort of skiing out in italy last season-loads of leading with the inside ski and mental angulation!

got a pair of head WC FIS skis that are in very good nick still but wasnt planning on selling them so would have to be the right price........
they have a repair on the top edge from where i straddled a gate and broke the tip off but the bases are still superb!

Rossy, I may be the only J2 rear entry harpist. But then, you might consider that on most days, I ski 60~80km, and due to the condition of my knee, I am hitting the Ibruprofen by mid-day. At boot removal time, my knee is swollen to a football lookalike. You have no idea how grateful I am to be able to gently remove my my foot from my rear exiting boot.

ouch :-o

believe me-i wasnt under the impression that there werent any 60+ people on here!!

all i was saying is that its great to see that not everyone of that age is still skiing on 2.2m 65mm at the waist straight skis!

and a free pass at 75?? great news-def something to look forward to!
