Night skating outing #1

Hello to all the living and breathing Jo's out there.

I realize winter's really the season for hibernation, but in this country winter is also the season of night skating.

So, in order to not leave anybody out, I hereby summon y'all to a fantastic night of skating in the dark.

Meeting time and date: wednesday 1 Feb @ 19h00 in the parking lot at Joest's place, so we can optimize the number of cars to go to La Vattay.

I'll book something to eat somewhere depending on the number of brave Jo's that sign up.

Be there, or be square!

Hope to see you all next week!

Mega Powder Day in Crans-Montana



It all started after Didier Cuche won the Streif for the fifth time...powder snow had piled up the whole night for us to shred...nobody could move across the ski resort but Balls and Papy skis on their shoulders ! The slopes and the sky opened up, powder under our skis to descend on virgin snow amongst the trees and over cliffs...still with me ? Not too shabby huh ? Now enjoying - not the waitress but a Toscanan Nipozzano red wine....Until Balls decides to have a last drink at Senso's bar....where we met Tequila's and Zoef "better" compatriots...

DH in Spain in the winter! Who would have guessed?

For those of you who travel to MDLC every now and then, you could take the opportunity to try it out.
I know next time I'm down there I'll go and see the trails, I had no idea they existed....

Movie!

Dinner in Crans-Montana

The waitress is on our side. JMi has worked his magic and she's throwing dessert and wine at us! Nice!!!

Blizzard in Crans-Montana !



The Mini made it on ice and snow covered roads, overtaking stranded many cars, bringing safely Balls and Papy to Swiss heaven Restaurant Le Mayen where they stuffed their faces - getting ready for magical powder skiing day ! More please !

Canton of Bern to ban mountain bikes on singletracks

This project in consultation in the canton of Bern is a concern. While Berne seems far, it would be unfortunate if it gives ideas to other cantons such as Valais. If you read German, can you say what you think? Here are some links: Trailnet.ch, Ride.ch and 20minuten.ch.
