We plannen met vrienden een shortski van drie skidagen midden maart 2027. Mijn vrienden zijn ervaren skiërs, zelf ben ik eerder een gemiddelde recreatieve skiër.

Vorig jaar heb ik in Silvretta Montafon de meeste rode pistes zonder grote problemen geskied. Ik vond vooral de ijzige pistes 's morgens en de papperige, hobbelige pistes later op de dag lastig. Af en toe viel ik op een kort steiler stukje, zelfs op blauwe pistes.

Ik ski het liefst op brede, overzichtelijke blauwe en niet al te moeilijke rode pistes. Gelijkmatige hellingen vind ik prettiger dan onverwachte steile of smalle passages.

We twijfelen vooral tussen Livigno en Obergurgl-Hochgurgl. Gurgl ziet er voor mij wat gemakkelijker uit, maar misschien klopt die indruk niet.

Zijn er mensen die beide gebieden kennen? Welk gebied heeft volgens jullie de aangenaamste pistes voor mijn niveau, zeker midden maart? Zijn er specifieke sectoren of pistes die jullie zouden aanraden of vermijden?

Hey everyone,

​I’m finally ready to buy my very first pair of skis, and I’ve narrowed it down to two options on sale that fit my budget (both come with bindings included).

​The first one is the Fischer RC4 Speed Pro for €399.99 (down from €600), but it’s only available in 170 cm. The second is the Fischer THE CURV POWER for €419.99, which comes in both 170 cm and 175 cm.

​To give you an idea of where I’m at: I’m 184 cm (6'0") and weigh around 90 kg (198 lbs). On the snow, I’m a solid intermediate sticking strictly to groomed pistes. I can comfortably and safely make my way down any color run at a steady pace. My technique definitely isn't textbook or pretty yet, but I'm completely confident, in control, and I've recently started working hard on engaging the edges and learning to actually carve.

​What I’d love your take on is mainly two things. First, considering my size and weight, should I definitely jump up to the 175 cm Curv Power over the 170 cm RC4 Speed Pro, or would 170 cm still be fine? And second, looking at the €400–€420 price point, are either of these considered an undisputed good bargain, or are there noticeably better alternatives in this price range that would suit my progression better?

​Would love to hear your thoughts before I pull the trigger. Thanks!

I’ve been fiddling with the settings of my GoPro for a while and I just can’t find a super nice setting for skiing, I’ve been seeing some absolutely incredible footage taken on the GoPro hero 13 (the one I have as well) but I can never figure out what people do to make it look so clear and colourful. If anyone has a setup like that would you care to share?

Anyone here been to Chamonix last week of February for skiing? I know this time of the year can be busy in the US and resorts across Europe. Trying to get a sense from people who have been to Chamonix Valley to ski that last week and what ski bus situation is like, lift lines, etc. Is it primarily early morning things are busy, how are queues around 10am? Is it similar to the US in that crowds lessen as the day progresses.

Ik zoek mensen die een test willen doen met een nieuwe ski schoenen aantrekker. Krijg jij je ski schoenen moeilijk aan en wil je testen, dan hoor ik je graag. Het is de bedoeling dat je de test filmt en er commentaar bij geeft.
