    5's in the pipe

    go fast enough.. so you get at least a couple of feet out.. be confident.. make sure you don't spin too soon, let yourself push out of the pipe spin like a 3 on a kicker.. spot your landing.. on your first attempts you will either underrotate then just butter out on your tail and try again...

    No Poles in Powder.

    Poles were used when skis were skinny and straight, to push yourself up over the pow and turn. When your skis are fat you can just surf the snow no need to push out of anything. It's funny how people are saying they NEED poles in powder while 99% of you probably don't have baskets wide enough...

    Best Park in Southern Switzerlans? Les Diablerets?

    forget Les Diablerets at this time... The parks you want to go to is Superpark in Les Crosets and Snowzone + The Stash at Avoriaz. Both are in the Portes du Soleil ski area. Either you take the bus from Geneva to Avoriaz, or you take the train to Champéry and then the gondola to Les Crosets....

    Alta

    Some people in here are talking out of there asses. If it hasn't snowed in Alta in the past 120 minutes, you are skiing moguls. Yeah there's a shitload of snow, and the place is one big playground when it's snowing, and I've had some of the best days of my season there so far.... but there's...

    Pipe Help

    I'll try to answer some of your questions... 1 -> practice, and push on the transition, and practice more.... if you travel more (i.e. change your angle more towards the bottom) you will also go faster. Also make sure you are moving in a zig-zag-motion through the pipe (straight lines) and not...

    What time do you leave for skiing

    If I'm at the resort I wake up naturally between 8 and 9 and walk to the ski lift (even if I went to bed at 4... I don't need much sleep). If I'm in the city I wake up at 7, catch the train at 7:40 and I'll be at the ski lifts around 9:20.

    you're an idiot. if you grow up in Champéry and live in Les Diablerets pretty obviously you speak (or rap) in French. What language do you think people speak on that side of Switzerland?! Get a friggin geography lesson instead of being another cliché embarrassment to your country. oh jeez then...

    Grindelwald

    park sucks in Grindelwald.. you could take the train and bus to Adelboden or Meiringen-Hasliberg if you wanna ride some decent park. If you wanna go freeride go to Mürren it's epic and should be on the same ski pass. There are also some hikes on First in grindelwald but they are not that steep.
