Nice meeting you Ripz! Wish we could have made turns together.
Anyone ever get any small BBI Swiss stickers?? I didn’t see any. If anyone has some leftover small ones I would love to get a couple.

What more refined expression of culture could there be than having ski racks in trains?
Fantastic
After 26 hours of travel on planes trains and automobiles we made it safe and sound back home.
Vendul, thank you for being an amazing host! We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to get back!!

For a few of us stragglers bbi has moved to the Arlberg for a few days. 20 cm of overnight fluff was our reward.

After skiing the couloir down to the road a short taxi ride got us in to Stuben. I few lifts and a 20 minute bootpack gave us the face across the road. I love the Alps!

Last night storm brought a lot more snow than forecasted and it stays cold I'm sure you'll have a great time in ST.A.
Here's a little more:

Nice! I can pick out the line I slid down on my ass after the toe release with no brake pop sent my ski zooming a few hundred vertical feet down the slope beneath me!Quote:

Keep on dancing.
Finally home. Physically and emotionally drained. That was a helluva a trip. Photos of the Urner and time in Sedrun to come. We got great an incredibly lucky weather window and stability. Skied good snow every day but one.
Only real kick in the nuts was losing the nut that holds the toe pin in location on the Vipecs sometime early on the final day when I still had 1000M+ to climb and 1700m of descending. Made it work, but it meant side slipping what was one of the best pitches of the trip -- 400m at 40ish degrees in pow above an icefall. (Hence the side slip.)
One shot from the photographer who was along of us banging out a mellow pitch.

The mothership out there. Unreal.
So didn’t get a photo but anyone notice how the shitter on the train didn’t go to a holding tank? It was just a hole right to the tracks. Lol.
I noticed... but it depended on the train.Quote:
