  • The sun left the arctic for the winter, so we followed it south to the Alps, and linked up with Loic to ride some classic Chamonix lines.

    I can't believe, you drove over 4k kms then do that...as your first line. Absolutely mental haha. Nikolai, that guidance and support you gave Loic going up, on the crux was divine. Can't wait for episode 2! Stay safe team.

      @@norway. look I am aware that I overexaggerated a little bit with the number 189. But the thing is that to a person my height, even 193 is borderline too short for a pow ski. I'm not asking for +10cm of my height, as most people consider the correct lengths for a powder ski. But looking at the Völkl example. It's great that the confession comes in 193. But where is the logic behind the revolt 121 (which is more specific to deep snow and also significantly more rockered) only going up to 191? Völkl used to be THE brand to go to as a tall person, the shiro even came in 203. What happened?
      The 4frnt renegade used to be 196, now it's 191. The tracer u mentioned is discontinued, now the longest Armada ski is 192.
      It's just a weird trend and I don't understand why it is happening. Surely there must be enough skiers taller than 185cm who would buy a 195+cm deep powder ski
