      thanks mike! you're totally right, I'm super stoked to have the possibility to jump into the car and to find something that brilliant not even a full hour away from my door step!
      (and btw., this was just one of the many many reasons I've chosen to move to switzerland back then. I love skiing and I'm super happy to be able to do it more often now!)

      more pics to come btw. …still have at least 10 days of skiing ahead of me! 😉

        I heard from Z a few days ago he is staying next to Copper Mountain for a month. He said last week. He was skiing in 15"
        of fresh and it was his best ski day ever.

                Broke out my powder skis yesterday Volkl Shiro 193. We got 8" of fresh. I had a blast on them until the snow started blowing off and it's icy core was revealed. Skiing ice on 119 waist width reminded me of the icy car pile up video that was posted a few weeks ago. It was fucking terrifying.

                            pish, night skiing is cold and the light is flat ;p

                            ya the right equipment is vital, I've got shaped all mountian skis, they do great on everything but powder, I'm so fucking lost on how to ski powder because I've done so little of it.  Groomers, crud, ice… no problem but powder always kicks me back on my tails and everything goes to shit from there.  A couple people have told me I need to lengthen my turns out and get fatter skis.  My major purchase next year before I go skiing will be something ~110 under foot, they should pair nicely with what I have now.

                              110 under foot is fucking brutal…the salomon's i've bought lately are something like 72! but yeah, for powder you def. need something that big!

                              was in despered need of a new boot and a helmet, so i just went ahead to the local ski center and copped these two babies.

                              Nordica - Hell and Back H3

                              tomorrow's gonna be the first test for the new equipment…weather forecast is pretty shitty but still better than sitting at home, no? 😉

                                You better spent some time in those boots before you take them out for the day

                                Fanya I highly recommend Volkl Shiro's for powder 119 under foot. They are a pow slayer.

                                    Did you go to a boot fitter?

                                      you have to explain this one a bit more…not really sure what to answer!
                                      i went to a ski store and talked to the guy in retail for a bit. tried a few boots and then went for them, since they felt the best from the ones available.

                                        Did they do a proper fitting? Usually takes an hour or so. Nothing worse then boots that don't fit properly.

                                          @derivative666 I'll look at them, I'm looking for something to compliment my current set which is 116-76-110.

                                          I bought a pair of boots this year also, didn't do a boot fitting, just tried on some pairs and bought what fit best, I agree with Dev though, the first 3 days in them weren't the most fun, I should of worn them around the house reading books giving them a slight break-in before going out, oh well maybe next time.  Maybe I'll get a proper boot fitting next time?
