Tony, Flew with Thomson in December 2010 to Innsbruck final destination Obergurgl. I got my pants in a twist having read their updated policy and posted a thread on here somewhere. We took two snow and rock single padded ski bags and two boot bags and one large hold bag for the two of us. In the padded ski bags we had one pair of skis each however, we packed the bags with our ski clothing and layers. Mine weighed 18 kgs and the OH weighed in at 16.8kgs. We had no problems whatsoever, they went through unchecked. Although I resembled the guy on Midnight Express prior to being busted :lol: You should have no problem :wink:

Excellent sounds the business and look forward to your report. I suspect this means we have lost you to the Swiss :wink:

I was wondering that Tony, its been at the top of the table, as far as snow is concerned this year. I will be glad if there is that amount in the 1st week of March. :D
Nice to have you back and trust you had a great time? :wink:

Bandit is right, New skis should be waxed to protect your ski bases. I have made the same mistake in the past but when I purchase a replacement pair I will give them a hot wax scrape to clean the bases and upto two-three waxes before their put into use. It will help to prolong the life of the skis. :wink:

Trencher wrote:Skiing on ice is a bit like cutting a sheet of glass. The first few times you cut glass, you are very light with the cutter, and hesitant with snapping along the score line. Result is shattered glass. After a while, you start to treat it with contempt, and the result is perfect cuts.

Ice will sense your fear, and snatch your skis out from under you.

A nice pair of tuned Kessler's would assist :mrgreen:

14 sleeps and then off to Pasa. :D

:thumbup: Snowing in Pasa also. Off to Pasa in two weeks :D

Welcome to j2ski Velobb, I am not sure of the long term snow however, they are reporting 190cms at 2800m, 135cms at 2100m and 35cms at village level circa 1400m. The snow record is impressive and the temp was -10 Today. The webcams indicate good snow. I am off too Serre Chevalier in March and have booked this because of the previous reports of good snow at that time. Have a look at their website:-

Hope this helps :wink:
