IMO 191 is far too big for someone that wants a ski to be useable in the park and all over the mountain. Price isn't even that good.

Instructors in Austria are the best in world especially compared to French who are generally not interested in much but their own skiing

Maybe try getting out of Austria sometime in the next 10 years....! Maybe even across the pond?

Edit: thanks Bandit.

Tell him Seth Morrison wears a helmet, show him this:

and be done with it.

If that does not convince say a helmet probably saved this dudes life:

I know as an impressionable young dude the only reason he can possibly not want to wear a helmet is because he doesn't think it is cool or that all the other kids won't be wearing them. In Italy they will.

Did you go into the Grizzly Steak House? I nearly got myself into trouble with the telephones at the tables!!!

Have you done any other resorts in Canada? I really fancy Fernie or over the border to Breckenridge (only if I feed up my piggy bank lots over the coming months). Unfortunately group consensus is that we have a cheaper do next year in Europe :cry:

No, a couple of buddies did and it was an expensive night for them.. Kicking Horse and Revelstoke are the other two I visited and I am in quite a hurry to get back to the Horse! Feed the piggy bank!!

Pablo, Didn't make it to the Buffalo Lodge? Do you know someone in there? We did get to some great restaurants, my fave being Saltlik on Bear Street!

We stayed at Irwins Mountain Inn, it did exactly what it said on the tin - it was nothing special but had no faults either, it was clean and spacious and the staff we're very friendly and helpful and I would recommend!

Yeh, it is a pretty special place!

I don't know anyone in there but the food is good, seriously good. Maybe a little more expensive than Saltlik :lol:

My parents were over visiting me last year and we headed there and it was around $300 for the 3 of us with drinks but I still can't get over how good it was.

For some reason I did that this morning, got in the car twice and had to get out and go check twice. Lolz.

Look? Do you not have to have skied them to form an opinion?

Seriously.. how any of these threads are you going to go for :lol:

Mogul skis are a pretty specialised tool and as a result everyone will have different preferences. There is no 'best' ski for any purpose, it is just someone's opinion.

What hotel did you stay in? Did you go to the Buffalo Lodge for a meal?
