I'm 24 years old and I'm going on a family holiday to Zell Am See for a week from 2nd January. Is anyone else out there at that time? Any young people that would be up for meeting up? It'll be a bit lame if I have to spend the whole week with the parents lol and would like to check out the nightlife as I've heard its pretty awesome.

Anyway give me a message if so

Tx

Strangely enough Zell am See had crossed my mind for New Year, but nothing definate so far. Besides I am 10 years older than you so would probably classify as an oldie ;)

Anyone gonna be in the Jungfrau region from tomorrow?

Hmmm,Dave, that sounds a little pro-active for my liking.......

My plan....

Kil my edges
Complain a bit
Get my edges done
Love my board
Do the dutch bird
Have a pint
Bass

I admit it's not elegant, but it works for me :)

Tino, I'm just liking you more and more.....

Aw, Tino, I thought the dutch lady was a bit too low in the priority there. I know yow like boarding, but there are limits man. :wink:

Dave :shock:

I'm a gentleman and as such would never write something like that!!

BTW, I am staying in the appartment tonight and watching "It's a Wonderful Life" )

Cliche book down, I'm off to have a blinding night in Saalbach.

Trencher wrote:Don't you have a "rock board" ? When you get a good board like a prior, you don't bring it out until there plenty of snow. If you are concerned, you can call Chris Prior, and check if there was an issue. It may well be that the edges are tuned at 87 degrees. The more acute the edge angle, the quicker they will dull. If you pick up an edge tuner and a diamond file, you only need a few passes each day to maintain reasonable sharpness.

Trencher

Trencher, as usual the nail has been hammered on the head. I just couldn't wait to ride the Prior so she has been given some fairly stern challenges early season in Europe. Over the last few weeks she has seen more rocks than the Rolling Stones!! I had her tuned to 89° on Monday, and that is what Prior claim to distribute boards at unless requested, but still I persist on doing closed runs and abusing her. I will make sure she recieves the TLC she needs on my return. I am glad I started using her though, she has made me a far better snowboarder and that is testemant to the guys at Prior.

Dave Mac wrote:Top stuff Tino. I know a lot of the runs, but only for alpine walking.

Sounds to me as though there is a manufacturing problem with your board, as though the edge material has been left in the annealed condition. Assume you are on your new board? If you google the board model for problems, you might get some feedback.

Yes, I have mentioned before that Skiline cannot possibly get near to your route length, it can only go direct line top to bottom. That is going to give you an accuracy problem, since many piste maps do not give piste run lengths.

Stay away from the gal in yellow! Oh, no, I forgot, it's not her!

:D .......unless she has changed her jacket!!
