Thanks Nelly, and you raise an interesting point. If the magic skis make you feel like you are floating through the turns, how would a body get tired? On the other hand, although I ski from opening to close, I stop and talk to my austrian friends, join in the music, sit and admire the view acoss the Alps.
Mmmm, I think maybe we have to get to the pleasantly tired state. Yes, Ok, even with magic skis, tiredness is in there. |

Well done to you Brandyaitch. You can now put the money you have saved on ski hire on an extra weeks skiing!!

Forgot to say thank you to Bandit resurrecting the thread. It is an important subject to most J2skiers, and one that is often lightly glossed over.
Also thanks for the link. |

I am slightly further forwards in relation to Direct Travel. The Tirol reginal tourist boards I contacted, either direct me towards generic avalanche avoidance websites or do not respond. My reading of this~ there is no local authority guidance, and the tourist boards don't want to go there.
Hence, I am not concerned about DT's boundaries, (unless Bandit fires an unthought of broadside), since I know that I am experienced, and that I have checked out the local authorities. I will always take cognisence of the Lift Company avalanche warnings. So, as things stand, I am still headed at remaining with DT, for my requirements. That is not an endorsement for DT for anyone else, purely for my circumstances. |

Trencher, I did understand you were referring to tipping the ski on edge. I was following up the point that about possible injury. I deducted from that that the edge force would be higher on a wider ski, ergo a more acute edge angle.

Before my time, sniff. |

Trencher, above 80mm waist do you reduce the edge angle?
I use an edge cut of 89 deg. Typical waist on my skis is about 60mm. |

Good. So I can stop sending my twice daily emails to the Auhof. And I can get my daily webcam fix.
