Let It Snow!!!! Winter Sports Thread
-
I have just finished a nice week in Chamonix. I lived here for several seasons quite a few years ago now.
Weather was kind to us and we got some fresh snow. Was still able to do a couple of the steeper runs in the valley. My body can deal with a week these days rather than a full season.
There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.
-
Sad to leave the valley when this just happened🥲
-
Argentiere got a few angry inches last night
-
Epic shots @ddtrash !
-
@Bridger just left Argentiere this morning 🥲
Have a good ski, hopefully you keep getting some new snow to fill in the bumps
-
Thanks @ddtrash
The dusting helped
-
Glad you got some @SKT.
Such a fun hill.
-
Does anyone here follow World Cup ski racing?
Holy shit - Lindsey Vonn is a BADASS! Freakin' nuts. Huge respect! [Noting we knew she was a badass already - but fuck me, at 41 and 0.98 seconds ahead!!]
Between Vonn and Shiffrin (G.O.A.T.) women's skiing (particularly US) is providing such inspiration and redefining what humans are capable of.
Looking forward to the Olympics. Mikaela needs to [and will] edit the records.

Mansfield
Where is Mansfield? @Sage954
I will be in Argentiere, Chamonix Valley on Sunday, the forecast is terrible 10 degrees average in town!!

Vermont USA. Highest peak in VT. It’s a 20 minute hike from the top of the Stowe gondola. The North East has gotten a lot of early snow. Not so much out west. I love Chamonix. Enjoy the trip. @Bridger

I’m mounting some pivot 15’s tomorrow. Skiing them Saturday.
Really cool company. Hand made in Michigan.

Very cool @Sage954
There seems to be a few smaller US ski makers popping up over the last few years, which is great to see.
What's the width of your new boards?

These are the Mohawks. 98 underfoot.
I wouldn't be riding these at Palisades Tahoe
98 seems like a relatively versatile size for the US. I have 84 and have wanted to go wider, but European off-piste snow isn't what it is in the US.
-
@Sage954 these look really nice and I’ve enjoy learning about the company. Thanks for sharing. Would love to hear how you like them once you’ve put them through some runs.
98 underfoot has been the sweet spot for me. Last year I skied some Salomon QST’s that I think were right there and enjoyed them.
Also, wondering what length you went with
-
@SKT
Agreed. 98 is versatile. I went with 186 length.
I’ll let you know what I think once I get some turns.
