Are you into your off piste Bowie? Is so I can PM, or post on here, so extra special Courchevel runs.

White just walks away with the Gold for pipe. No one even looked in the same league really. What a last run!

Cheers for giving it away Adam, was studiously avoiding news pages so I could enjoy it this evening. Inevitable result, but would have been nice to watch without knowing.

Didn't even think people would be saving the result! Oops. Second spanking of the week then...

SA Chris · February 18, 2010, 12:41:38 pm

Edit it, there may be others like me who can still be saved!!

Was just amazing - on his own in that competition.

Jesus titty fucking christ

Johnny Brown · February 19, 2010, 11:56:47 am

I was up there last week, fuck ice climbing lets go riding!

Was breaking trail up stuff like that over xmas. Tooks us 4 hours to walk up Fionn Bheinn. Got to the top just as two ski tourers summited. Only took them two hours and they flew down. Wished I'd bothered to take my board. Took ages to get down.

Anyone know what conditions are like in Lakes snow wise? Due for a bit more mid week, but was wondering if there are any hikes to be had with a decent downhill on a board on way back down?

Looks pretty good to me.

typically understated american celebrations then

As Marky Mark Fun Park said to me... why cant they just do 360's and Methods.

Wish I could get to Scottish land

Norton Sharley · February 20, 2010, 06:18:53 pm

Well Sean used to just do 3's etc. But that was when he was twelve! I can't believe he's only 24.

What would he have done if that pipe had been in better - faster - condition?

For anyone who's not been, or is contemplating going, to Saas Fee then I can thoroughly recommend it.

mark · February 20, 2010, 10:12:04 pm

And here he is at 11 years old. I remember watching this round at Bubba's when TB3 or 4 or whatever the clip is from had just been released. How we laughed at the segment at around 56 seconds. Jealousy's a terrible thing!

SA Chris · February 23, 2010, 01:08:47 pm

Not snowboarding, but ski touring conditions are all time at the moment.

Some pics from mate who was touring Sat & Sun.

And more snow forecast later in week! Still snow cover down to sea level here, temps barely climbing above freezing during day and plumetting at night. Get here if you can.

SA Chris · February 26, 2010, 01:13:16 pm

once again I tell you, if you intend getting to scottish ski centres, now is the time. Cairngorm have got 1.5 - 2m in the last few days.

Planning a trip up to Glenshee on Tuesday.

I think getting to the ski centres is going to be the issue! Thinking about next weekend when it's hopefully calmed down/settled.

Glencoe ski site 'is world's snowiest'

Thats a first!

Yes, will be at present, but of late they move heaven and earth to get the roads clear so the punters can get up to the resorts, especially at weekends. Cairngorm still seems to struggle though. Reckon it will be busy next weekend, but OK if you have touring kit

, and due to the long run of good conditions they have had - pretty much fully open since Xmas, there isn't the mad rush when conditions are good like there used to be.
