Closer to homehttp://www.steepscotland.info/index/Gully skiing season is in full swing!
Next time your in St Anton, save up and book on with these guys, 1 - 5 days. http://www.pistetopowder.com/our-courses.php
I'm now going to order the book recommended on page 1 and next time aim to do more of an avalannche awareness/snow knowledge type day/course. Also, I once again failed to make to the free tranceiver course, this needs rectifying.
Glad you had a good trip, with the state of the snowpack at the moment having a guide was probably the way to go!I've got a pair of Soul 7s, the ultimate punter ski! Very easy to ski though floppy in crud or at any kind of real pace.
What's the wisdom these days regarding kit? It cost me 220E / week / person to hire skis and boots. Now I know there's maintenance and transport but at those prices your own equipment is looking like a fairly favourable option?Boots are a definite purchase. My right shin is pretty fussy after I broke it and is a little sore still from the past week.
yours seemed a bit pricey Paul) and you may not get the boots (especially) that you've worn in etc.. blah blah..

No more Beta Rides?If you are more inclined towards off piste / touring stuff it's worth looking at a touring boot / set up. Bit more expense initially, but cheaper in the long run if you eventually end up going down that route anyway.
