because nine times out of ten rental skis, much like rental boots are horrible!

pretty sure i replied to the other thread but armada ARV is very similar and great fun

ive demoed both the arv and the jung fujas for a few hours on the mountain but still prefer my 4frnt MSPs as they are stiffer
Rocker Skis
Started by User in Ski Hardware, 6 Replies
kung fujas isnt really a proper rocker ski, they are just a little bit rockered but they are a very fun ski to be on-similar to the armada ARV. quite soft and floppy in big hard fast turns but great fun in medium off piste. for a real rocker try the rossignol S7!

as bandit said try em and see for yourself-only problem with that is you dont tend to get powder easily to properly get the best from them

Ryanair slashes European ski fares

I used ryanair and easyjet over the summer to get to northern ireland, milan and brussells and although I must say I had no problems or worries with any of the flights-took golf clubs, bags, hand luggage etc on different flights, the ryanair plane didnt feel as solid as the easyjet ones!!!
still if they can get me to Milan at christmas for 100quid Ill be booking it as BA would be twice that and more.....

Bormio is 2.5hrs away on the train-milan central to Tirano and then the connecting bus (which runs on same timetable ie will wait for train) to bormio is 30minutes

if youre goign for offpiste though, take a transceiver to avoid the fines!!
Where to go ?
Started by User in France, 9 Replies
agree with bandit, chamonix would be the best for tough skiing but if youre going when you are fairly sure the snow is good and it HAS to be France id go to Avoriaz-Portes du Solei

If it doesnt HAVE to be Frnace, then Italy is way cheaper and better!
