  1. Headed to LECH Austria for March break. Never been.... 1- How are conditions there? 2- what is terrain like there for carving? Going with family and dont really want to take ski's if I dont have to as I really dont ski anymore, just carve... what boards to take??? Big radius carving boards? AM board? POW board? HELP!!!! Quiver is too big and dont want to take more than 2 boards.....

  2. Jack, there was a trail merge right before the collision, but in the back of my head I knew the other trail was closed due to lack of snow coverage on that trail and it was unskiable, THis skier overtook me on the same trail I was on....

    For the record, I do agree with all the comments about looking behind you between turns, and I usually do that a few times per run. I guess tis run, mentally I thought I was the only one on it as it was 1st thing in the morning and when I looked at the top of the slope there was nobody even close. I guess there is always somebody faster than you on the slopes.......

  3. I agree with being predictable, but if you view the video, you will see that I WAS very predictable. Carving turns side to side. If you listen to his comments after you will actually hear him say ' I saw you make a carve out to the left and thought I could get by you on the right'....

  4. Just happened to have my helmet cam operating on a run last weekend. Could have ended MUCH worse. Skier did not fare as well... From what I hear, he ended up with a broken nose and separated shoulder. I walked away with a sore jaw and a big chip out of my board about 2" ahead of my front binding!!!!!

    action is around 0:40 mark....

    Headed to SES tomorrow, good thing I am not on crutches.....

  5. ok, I will bite.... I own a Madd 158 and a 170. Both green side walls. I Like them both, but would leave them in storage over my Coiler VSR. Why should I get this 180?? What is difference between green and red sidewalls? I know everyone covets the red sidewalls? Was there magic dust sprinkled on these?
