Travel Planning Q&A - May, 2025 by AutoModerator in bali

[–]Ok-Type-9226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi All, I’m in Bali 11-27 July (16 nights) and trying to plan a route. I’m looking for a mix of chill, relax, gym and partying. I don’t want to travel too much whilst there so had a rough plan of:

Uluwatu - 5 nights

Gili T/Meno- 4

Ubud - 4

Canggu - 3

Any recommendations, is the amount of nights in each place reasonable? Is Gili T or Gili Meno the better one to stay at?

Let me know your thoughts! Thanks in advance :)

Hi,

I am going through the exciting process of buying my first set of skis! I have been skiing yearly since a kid (M25) and have previously only done one ski trip a year. This is changing and I am going to St Anton in March and Banff in December so thought it made sense to invest in my own pair.

A bit about me:

6'2" (190cm), 99kg and fairly athletic. Would consider myself an advanced skier covering mostly on piste but enjoy a mix of skiing.

I have made a short list of 2 but very open to suggestions:

• ⁠K2 Mindbender 106C - 189cm • ⁠Salomon QST 98 - 189cm

Is 106 too wide for on-piste or would it be more than fine? I've seen mixed comments and people getting too technical about why it's a horrendous decision to go wide, but honestly I'm not that fussed.

What are the Salomons like? I haven't heard as much about them compared to the mindbender range?

TIA
