I went to St A Saturday for a day. I basically hated it. It was booked solid, overcrowded, and the piste traffic dangerous. The blacks I tried were pretty normal and in OK condition, the long red I skied (top to bottom of Rendl) was difficult, but the blue down from Grampel lift was seriously challenging by any standards (both I and the very experienced Austrian I was with found that blue significantly tougher than the blacks, a point perhaps deserving its own thread).

I think I also mentioned something similar in a previous post , I guess j2skiers love crowded over and under graded pistes . Still each to their own 8)

Wow, £19.99! Bargain :-) .

I'm thinking of a second pair ;)

Why buy the same make if they are holed after one week :shock:

Spend a little more money and you will see your gloves last a lot longer, important equipment gloves :wink:

Al&Clo wrote:I ski, and i snow baord. when the snow is soft, snow boarding is better. when its icy i'd take either. When it is slushy boarding is better. off piste in pow pow, boarding is so much better than i cant even begin to descibe to a skier what it feels like.

This post isnt meant to annoy skiers or poke fun, becuase there is nothing like carving down at speed. I just hope that it motivates someone, at least one person, to take up baording so that they can feel that undescibable feeling of floating down the mountian on pow pow.

I take it you like boarding then :shock:
