Didn't you book a flight for Utah?? :confused:
Let's say Jessica Alba was waiting naked for you in Salt Lake City, but then both Teanna Kai and Jenna Jameson naked covered in honey were waiting for you over in Europe, and work paid for your plane ticket....where would you go? :DQuote:

Superb-Etoile Punani
gettin that itch for the unexpectorated...
All dumping and no skiing at the moment...been snowing hard for 5 days now....got to ski 2 runs on one of the lower slopes before they turned the lifts off.....then they tried to make us download? 1.5 m fresh on a 2 meter base.....we just informed the patrol that we were skiing down weather they liked it or not...they said our life was in our own hands and we pushed off into the void!

Yeah, we need to hook up with someone who knows how to get from here to there and avoid the hordes of school kids (1st week of French school's ski vacations!). Otherwise PDS... I can tour guide Champossin/Les Crosets/Chatel Linga/Avoriaz. and NO!... I do not do the Swiss Wall. I can find us some less travelled and better couloirs to rock hop and track up.
Idris, saw your photos today and have to say that you are the man to show us the plan @ Cham. Can we hook up with you for a tour? Your lunch is on me.
5th - I have meetings in the morning and can be ready to drive out of Geneve after lunch. Pick u up at the airport?
7th - a group from the Cincinnati area (my last residence before landing in Geneve) are arriving on the 6th and should be ready to ski. Very solid on-piste. Some can off-piste my legs off, too.
So, it looks like I may have a reason to stay a few nights in Cham!
:D Just got back from a weekend of righteous pow skiing at Les Crosets/PDS!!! All liasons shut down, but it did not matter. 60cm Friday night into Sat AM and another 30cm Sunday AM. It kept the whole CH side for the CH residents! I was finding great pow-lines both Sat and Sun even after lunch. Visibility was a drag, though! Sometimes the snow was falling so thick you were skiing with your eyes closed. Bottom falls out... Suddenly the bottom is in your face again!
See your yahoo acct. I sent some family photos and maybe attach my CH natel number at bottom of letter. If not, let me know and I will PM you at yahoo.

You ski those trees in the daytime, too?
They only get skied in the dark to impress American Journo's :)
I should be about early Feb. be good to catch up with you Splat. Shame Natty cant make it this time.
Phil, just got a call from Natty about bringing you those Iggy's. I'll have to weigh my skibag and call BA for weight restrictions to see if I can squeeze them over to you. Is it 50 lbs. per bag? I've been hearing they are now dictating 15 kilos for a skibag. (?)Quote:

Idris- nice pics!!!! is it easy to get rental gear at this time in Cham with the busy season? I don;t want to be stuck with a pair of the euro equivalent of Elan SCXs...
I really can't be without my FaGS. Will look into luggage check in LHR to save me the hassle of dragging skis all over with me before the ski part of my trip.
Splat, Idris et al.....Chair 10...uhh I mean, Bochard Telecabine at 10 on Feb 6 :D
Yeah no worries....but first buy a tranciver!Quote:

I'll drop u a PM.

LITT! I'm staying in Vernier, near the Airport. Probably bus it or drive to Cham early 6th or something.
SP,
Rideshare is the way to go! Save your car rental money and split the gas w/ me.
Staying in Cham overnight or back to Vernier every night? If snow and times are good I wouldn't mind staying in Cham a night or 2.
I am staying out of Verbier. School vacations are in full swing and toooooooo many on the slopes. We should find more elbow room in PDS skiing from the CH side into FR (Linga & Avoriaz).
Drop me a PM or hotmail.com me.
LITT
Hell no! If there's pow or chicks or both we're staying in Cham!!!Quote:

I'm staying about 1/2 km from the end of the "6" bus line in Vernier.
Granny has a condo up in Anzere, next to Crans Montana, but the resorts there are not as extreme, so definitely would rather hit up Cham/Verb/ Portes du Soleil. Let me know your schedule man. Looking forward to some turns with you. Hsven't seen you since you, me, Em and Sobchak had that Alpine pow day way back in the SkiChatter days :D (Hey! Where IS Em?!)
the Alpcentre in Argetiere has a load of fat skis that you can take out on test, most of the latest models apart from the Head 103's could be better than rentingQuote:

Cheers for that. I'll get you some beers when you get here. Conditions are looking like they will be perfect.Quote:

No problem, I can pickup on the 6th. Dropped you a PM.
Em? good question! She moved back to Boston area, found a job doing computer support, dropped me a few lines, and then disappeared. I am sure she has it figured out and found a ski partner! ;)
