Three Pounds and 1300 Euros Lighter

January 20, 2008 - Zinal

The new boards - Scott Missions with the 0.56 kg Dyanafits

I went into town to grab a coffee and drove home with 1300 euros worth of new ski equipement. Like I have money growing in my backyard garden. But it had to be done - I finally made the switch to Dynafit boots and bindings. They weight 25% that of my old Freerides and if today is any indication, they ski just as well if not better. Agnes and I fired up the Twingo and ventured into Switzerland to try out my new skis and a new resort over there. The morning was slightly dissapointing as it was beginning to look like we paid 45 francs to ski sliced up sloppy seconds. But by the afternoon we had found some freshies and we finished off the day with a fantastic little descent off the backside ending up at Grimentz, way down the valley. Mushroom cheese fondue and white wines finished off the day nicely. And now we have know a new resort to play in - Zinal has some potential.
