First EuroBBI Thursday March 21, 2019

**vendul** · 03-06-2019, 03:23 AM

So.. it is getting close... I hope we'll be able to make everybody happy!!!!
You guys might be veeeery lucky... it is still a bit early to be sure, but this week end we should get a ton of freshis up in the alpine and a bit of rain here in the valley, but after that it should be snowing and stay a bit colder....
Said that so far I have received skitikets for:
- Bruce
- Scott
- Dixon
-Aaron,
as I keep getting them I'll post it here.
I confirm a day trip to Engadin on the 20th, I need to know approximately how many would partecipate, this way I can get a proper quote.
Please contact me by mail at: info@mt-lodge.com or by phone +41819365000.

Bastards at the ultrasound didn't complete the reading and synch with our doctor, so that's pending.

My incredibly wonderful wife is shooing me out the door, insisting everything will be ok...both somewhat sleep deprived. Poor kid has eaten only 3 bowls of soup and 3 pieces of toast in the last 10 days. Doesn't complain, tough little fucker.

FWIW, the 2 week forecast, as wobbly as it is, says 1+ meters over the weekend of the 15-17, then clearing by the 18th.

About how long does it take from order to show up at venduls? I’m arriving on the night of 14th and wondering if I’m too late.

I woke up at 3am this morning, mind racing with the mantra “holy shit in a week I’ll be skiing in Switzerland“

Very excited about all this.

Starting to get butterflies thinking about it.

I bought a new camera lens for this trip. Everyone, please make sure your pants are baggy and your pole plants are tight.

**Buster Highmen** · 03-06-2019, 10:00 AM

What if my pants are tight?

Cool news! What’s the giveaway mechanism? Usually a raffle— but no overarching cause on this BBI and we all have sunk cost in being there. Draw name from hat?
Thanks MiCol

I'm just bringing one cause it's the right thing to do. Should be arriving today. Size L which I believe fits a bit larger than that. My planned mechanism is Vendul gets first dibs if he wants it for hosting our asses, if he doesn't then whoever has the best headband game or drinks the largest amount of amaro.

My pole is making my pants tight thinking about it.

Thanks. Ordered. $50 a day is less than the discount price at fucking Loveland. Jesus.

Well I assume you'll be wearing the Euro fagbag sweat collector, which doesn't count as pants.

That's the spirit. Let the pole lead through the turn! Stiff-legged, arced back, mid-thrust chin-high stance. Slack the chub for the steeps, tho plz... you'll ruin the shot. GTS!

Re rescue heli; have a message out to Swiss Alpine Club and combed REGA & SnowAssist.
SnowAssist doesn't cover off piste adventure. Rega seems to be $30 annual contribution - does this cover you well?
Anyone have decisive beta and pulled the trigger yet?

**doebedoe** · 03-06-2019, 12:20 PM

I've got AAC coverage to start, then a program via Garmin that is very inexpensive if you're carrying an inReach. Thinking I may add Rega on top since its 30 or 40 bucks?
