It was open to all back then, and they imply they are now.

The "Club Rehab Bar" is one of the most popular nightspots in town, with the cheapest prices in the Tyrol, and is very proud of its long list of rather unusual cocktails

You'll have to check it out )

It's going back many years, but back then I did all my partying in Club Habitat. It's still there, you might want to check it out. Usual dancing on tables in skiboots stuff :oops:

Just looking at Tony's profile pic...is he starting to Penguin :D

Saas-Fee would be my choice, beautiful village 8)

Smokey Barr, the list of Hospitals would scare me. Imagine asking the Helicopter if they wouldn't mind diverting to xxxxx. You are not going to get a choice, expect to be delivered! Will you be expected to then organise your own taxi/ambulance to another hospital?

Nice pic Pabs 8) So, are you on your ultralight touring skis, or something with a little more substance :mrgreen:

The Powder Ribbons in the link on other thread are Pink. The others shown on the site page are for Touring Ski's with bindings that have no brakes.

It's risky to tie your skis to your boots, there is a chance that when your skis detach they will come after you. Powder Ribbons tuck up the cuff of your ski trousers, simply follow the trail back to the ski.

Welcome to J2ski :D

Sorry to hear that your knees got damaged when your bindings failed to release. I hope everything is back together now.

Settings bindings correctly is a little more technical than reading the numbers off a chart.

If you want to check your numbers, here is a good place to start:

It's worth knowing your Boot sole length, height/weight/ability level to give to a fitter. As you've reached 50, a broad brush approach lowers your DIN, which may/or not be appropriate for you. Learn your numbers!

Forward and rear pressure on a binding is just as important as the numbers on the dial. If your boot is squeezed into the space between the toe and heel piece, it will be the same as raising the DIN because it takes up all the elasticity in the binding.

You should watch for:
Toe height adjustment (some are automatic-some not)
Sole length adjustment-(winding out the heel)
Asking for your weight/age/type of skier
Manual check of glide plate under the boot toe
Manual check for slop in the fit(is boot loose in the binding)

If you've been set up with too high a DIN, wind it down at toe and heel half a number at a time. Or go back to the fitter!

If you have damaged knees, give the Moguls a miss, they are for young knees ) Powder will be bliss 8)
