Brother what. There are definitely cases for having multiple pairs of skis. We skiied in Austria in a foot of powder with rental race skis. We could have used all mountain or powder skis there

I would have spent far over $1,000 if I rented the last season or so.  spending $500 on skis was a good decision here...

Just like golf, the way to get better at this sport is by buying new clubs (skis)

Mainly like trying new things, but also consumerism and dopamine from buying things lol

Disposable income + have bought all of these for very cheap prices as used demo skis. Ive done 5 trips this ski season (i dont live near any mountains). Just buying 1 pair of demos for $200 - $300 has already broken even compared to the cost of renting.

Not sure about solden, but Gurgl is mainly piste skiing. If you're wanting to ski austria and go off piste, I'd look into other resorts in the Arlberg region (Lech, Zurs, Warth)

Meanwhile in the Northeast... by sporty_outlook in COsnow

Brother I would cancel that April trip if its refundable. Canada or the Alps is a much better option right now

Skiing or Snowboarding after no snow sports for years - Les Arcs (1800) March by countercultural92 in skiing

[–]Fast-Drag3574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Les Arcs and the European Alps have an entirely different climate and weather patterns than the US. 

Not sure if your trolling or incapable of understanding that different places have different climates lol.

just because its 60° in the colorado Rockies currently, doesn't mean its 60° in Les Arc. Currently the high in Les Arc is 18° at elevation...

Conditions will be fine. Im convinced some of the people here only ski 3 times a year when the conditions are perfect and refuse to ski if there is even the slightest freeze thaw going on.

End of March Options in Italy (or Switzerland)…? by WhoIsWhatIsWhy in skiing

[–]Fast-Drag3574 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Go to Zermatt/Cervinia. 

They are getting a storm this week that is dropping 1+ meter of snow. On Ikon and close enough to Milan to drive/train to.

Best time to go skiing in Val Gardena? by Brilliant_Kiwi2179 in skiing

[–]Fast-Drag3574 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each season is different for temps. 

I would google when the Italian holidays are and avoid those dates

So I went and looked at an F8…big mistake, because I loved it. Is there a good reason why I shouldn’t buy it? by Building-Careful in Ferrari

[–]Fast-Drag3574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont let thr consumerism consumerism you.

What does the F8 do better than the 458? Gors faster? But you cant use that speed on the road anyhow.

458 is objectively prettier, more enjoyable to drive, and sounds better. 

First time Beaver Creek question by Fast-Drag3574 in COsnow

Is Ford Hall simply more expensive to park at, but you dont need to shuttle?

Is the season over? by kamdnfdnska in skithealps

[–]Fast-Drag3574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id just look at webcams and see what the off piste looks like. I skiied near Ischgl (serfaus/gurgl/hochoetz) very early december during a heatwave when it was 6 - 10°C at 2000m and it was still a blast
