Almost there..

Post by RoboGeek »

Unfortunately no homebuilt skis yet.. but I'm wearing my boots while playing halo. Its 50f out and I'm in ski pants and jacket - just to make sure its all ok..

Anybody else going crazy waiting the last few weeks??

me too, me too! actually i`m not playing halo - i`m still building skis :D

you can already smell the snow. up to now we had about 3 times snow down to 500m over sea, which is kind of uncommon. but sadly the weather got warmer again, so now we have again 10°. but soooon.... :D:D:D

blast, it IS here ;)
next weekend my homeresort is going to open. i can`t believe it, this freaking weather is just out of control.... i mean, last season we barely had any snow. this season: it`s not even december and it snowed nearly 4 days in a row. in some places they received 1,20m of the fresh stuff.... and there is no end in sight!
it`s gonna snow for the next 2 days at least. my homeresort has about 60cm of new snow up to now... just so sweet!
the only bad thing: i`m waiting for the edges and it`s going to take at least 2 weeks until i finished my new boards. actually i`ve got a version of my new shape mounted with freerides...but i`m afraid they don`t hold very long. but if there is really that much snow laying around there is no other way of doing it, i`ll have to shred those things :D you can`t believe how excited i am! :D:D:D:D:D:D

it`s just absolutely totally insane what`s happening this year.
we got snowheights NEVER EVER measured before in november. my homeresort has 60cm at the bottom and 150cm on top (1850m over sea). this is more than we had through the whole last season!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D unbelievable. there is finally justice ;)
