Oh yeah baby, will be my fourth time.

Also will be in Saalbach Hinterglemm for "Rave on Snow" next weekend.

Not before I go to the opening extravaganza at Egelberg this weekend, train in T-30 and counting :D :D :D

Seriously, looking at where the snow is and saw a deal. 3* hotel, half board, 2 day lift pass, party both nights - 199 Euro

Time for some off-piste me thinketh.

I want to go but I think I'm a bit too old. :cry:

I see the Scratch Perverts are on the list they're great but FBS is a bit outdated now. Soulwax and 2 many DJ's for me next week...Yay! Now if they were headlining I would definitely go regardless of my age!

Oooh Tino, I've been in Engelberg at this time of year, and it was rather good! I expect you'll be in the Yucatan shortly 8)
What is your Hotel called?

I'm not envious really :mrgreen: :P

Bandit, it's awesome, I have never seen somewhere quite like it. Only 82km of piste but endless off-piste :shock:

Blog should be up in moments )

I've just read your blog :thumbup: I really liked Engelberg, though I think you have more snow than I had ) You'll be sensible to take a guide if you want to nail the off piste from the top of the glacier. Easily accessed and oh so tempting!

There are a lot of seriously good freeriders residing in the resort, follow them with caution!

Are you enjoying the rotating cable car :lol:

I think you might be in the Terrace Hotel )

If you return to the resort another time check out http://www.skilodgeengelberg.com/
run by (Swedish?) freeriders. Anyways, pretty funky and just renovated. No idea of prices there.

Inspiring blog Tino. I feel a divorce coming on, Oh to be single, with a whole winter to go. :shock:

Since you descibe your accomodation, and give costings, can you please name them all. This is valuable first hand info.

Re:Fatboy Slim is to headline the Snowbombing 2010 festival

Cheers Bandit, Dave.

So in order of asking...

1. The rotating cable car is class!! I was so impressed I rode it down so I could video the experience!! Once I get a chance I will put it on my blog.

2. I was indeed stazing at the Terrace, all very odd indeed. Don't get me wrong it's fine but just not my cuppa tea. It is kind of a communal eating arrangement where you may sit at dinner with 15 strangers. I ain't sharing my bottle of red with 15 Lithuanians, or anyone else for that matter.

3. I nearly booked that actually Bandit, was going to until I saw the deal including pass etc.

4. Dave, I really dont want to be cited in another divorce suit, 1 was bad enough, and no I wasn't, before you ask.

5. I intend to put up reviews, prices and links to all places mentioned in the blog, but this is time consiuming so it will be a gradual thing.

Tino, Unlike Ally I have too much time on my hands at the moment and I have read your blog. I am looking forward to the next entry (if that's what you call it?)even though it is making me so jealous. I have a few trips booked and I am now bursting with excitement.

Do you have a plan of of where you are going throughout the season or are you taking things as they come?

Updated )

I have no specific plan further than my next trip ususally, but a calender is not a bad idea!!

I bet you are excited where you off to first?

Saalbach Hinterglemm for me next weekend (for a week) and it looks like they will have some snow after all.

Les Menuires first (over New Year). ADH for 5 days 2nd week Jan and then back there for 2nd week in Feb. I'm hoping to do something in March if all goes to plan. I'm feeling almost fit enough now, but Saturday night should be the test...going to see Soulwax/2 many DJ's so 9pm-3am dancing should get me in tip top shape for the skiing and even more in the mood for the Apres!!! Lol

Tino, I was very worried when I saw the photo of the air ambulance...I was very glad to see it wasn't a taxi for you!

We need a thread "Tino's blog" Bandit, please attend to it. Otherwise the knowledge and wisdom will be scattered on different threads, and of course we will be fred drifting other threads.

Tino, from your Engleberg element on the blog:

1. Glacier skiing/snowboarding is very different to proper mountain. WHY?
2. I am nowhere near as good as I thought I was. WHY?
3. I simply do not know when to stop. I think we knew that. :)4. Powder hurts less than piste.
5. Powder is a ***** on a board when you fall. It's sh*t on skis too.6. Skiers have it easy off-piste compared to boarders. B.....ks7. I need to learn to ski, and then........ Thats a great idea.
8. I need to buy a split board :) They are called: - "Skis" :mrgreen:

Dave Mac, Tino is inching his way towards 2 planks. We should embrace his sense of adventure, and work on conversion :D In the meantime, here's a Split Board :D

http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Burton-S-Series-Split-Snowboard/BUR0748M.html

Like you, I want to know why he thinks powder is ***** on a board when you fall. I'd always thought hillfrogs had it cushy in the soft stuff, with a nice wide platform????

Okay, answer time.

1. No matter what the conditions on a glacier, you know and expect tough conditions. On a mountain slope, the conditions can change over a few yards and throw you off. Basically I think that doing it enough you get used to glaciers, mountains require a little more concentration.

2. Because I was riding like a big jessie on Saturday to start off with, no confidence at all. It did improve to be honest.

3. :P

4. Nuff said.

5. Agreed, probably not a lot of fun either.

6. In deep snow and flatish it is impossible to dig out and get momentum. With skis you have independence in either leg and poles to enable you to get a move going, it's just plain knackering on a board. Funnily I always seem to fall on the level rather than on an incline :?: Maybe speed is the key.

7. I was drunk when I said that.

8. Seems that it's bedtime.

:wink:

I'll be there, for some of it at least. Have a work committment on the 6th, but intend to travel overnight and be there on the mornin of the 7th.

Snow is variable, you wanna be heading for the quieter spots at that time of year it holds up better.

I have decided that I am gonna convert one of my old snowboards into a highspeed cocktail bar for this event. Still in the concept phase, but got some groovy ideas!!
