First EuroBBI Thursday March 21, 2019

[Foggy_Goggles]

I'm bringing one setup and relying on that alone. Hope it works out. CD104Ls, Vipecs, and Hawx XTDs.

So $$$, so jealous. It Europe they just call it "skiing" and they just do it on "skis".

[TAFKALVS]

But are they red?

Yes, red topsheets, sidewalls and bases. With Look/Salomon colab bindings, red P18 toes with red, steel 916 heels on a pivot turntable.

FUCKING FAST

[hafjell]

$27/day for the premium skis at Intersport. Obviously going with the Atomics because of color.

Welcome to ski them for a couple laps if you want to get out on the Pass sometime. Should be mounting them up in a week or so for a 27.5 boot (like 310ish bsl i think).

You got a white Astro? I'm putting my touring bindings on my Quixote's this week. We should trade.

Game on.

yep -- white Astro that's plenty janky. Quixote's sound sweet. I'm interested to see if these Countdowns can make me give up my Yetis I keep going back to.

Drool

Only 2 here. I had to choose oootah or Europe, Europe won. Thought about flying into salt lake then to Europe but wanted more days in Euro land.

[Buster Highmen]

iceman, sfb and I warmed BBIU up for y00s d00dz

[Tri-Ungulate]

can i get a roll call on those attending all 3 BBI’s?

Norseman comes to mind anyone else?

Dang. I was gonna be the other but I can't make it to Alpy this year. I'll be one of the sub-sub-hosts at Ootah this year before I hop on a plane to Zurich.

Oh BTW if a mag has a need for a place to stay in SorryDude, I can put 'em up.

[yellofin]

I just jumped in. Many thanks to Buster and Amex points for making this possible!
Called Vendul and he said that his place is booked solid with Mags but he took the time to help me find a place close by. He seems like a great person to be at the helm.
Looking forward to a week of nonstop adventure and a lot of laughs.
I’m in for a guide if that’s what the plans are

Fuckery on the part of Iceland Air... cancelled flight.

Unimpressed with the outfit, to say the least.

Options include refunding the fare or rebooking on a different day... but the latter would make the ticket non-refundable. Not comfy with the shifting schedules and general feel of the setup.

I'll probably get the refund and grab another ticket with a more reputable carrier. (Is there such a thing?) Delta has an ok option, looks like.

MoFro shared these flights and is in a similar situation with other travel immediately prior to this trip.

[doebedoe]

That's shitty.

Skied the BBI skis for the first time this weekend. Think I'm not going to hate them on lift served days.

Anyone coming early want to get out for a day tour between 15-18th?

Sucks.
Check fares for Air France, British Air, Lufthansa and Kayak. I usually go with one of the major Euro airlines.

Then there's this:

Just checked: there's British Air flight for $584,Seattle to Zurich, 03/14 to 03/25 : https://www.kayak.com/flights/SEA-ZR...t=bestflight_a

I would not fly United if you can avoid it.

Here's a flex schedule that has a number of BA flights for sub $600:

[doebedoe]

send me a pm with your address and i’ll get a eyurp version of the 19BBI sticker to ya to tag those fast looking skis.

Incoming....

I've gotten dicked around on United for fees, they treat customers like shit. My axiom is to try to avoid them whenever possible.

Air France has the best food and often some serious talent on the aisles.
