The lower one, as that's what it's there for.

......and questions like that are not silly, as that's what forums like this are there for.

Our tours to the various NTNUI cabins all around Trondheim are some of my favourite memories and I have never been able to find something quite like it here in Switzerland. Ahh!.......You’d be surprised! Although you make an interesting point, it sounds like you kinda have to decide to mostly stick...

Hi Thomas, You’re not the only Norway-fan here in CH! I have toured extensively in the Hardangervidda on ski and have used different skis for the tours. In 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2019 I used an older waxless version of the Fischer E99 without tip rocker (the current Transnordic 66 has similar dimensio...

In a few weeks time we’ll have the autumn equinox, and once that has passed the Christmas season will be upon us in no time at all. To get myself in the mood I decided to write my own version of the popular Christmas song, “O Tannenbaum”. If you like it, please don’t send praise, but instead conside...

Sichelchamm.jpg All I see here are some amazing folds in Cretaceous limestone, gorgeously emphasized by the snow (or the herds of swiss Polar bears on the Sichelchamm). Well spotted! You clearly know your Schweetz. I can see the Sichelchamm / Alvier Group from my balcony (but not today). ………and the...

[ All I hear from you is a suffocating orthodoxy at the top of your voice in every single thread. It's so tone deaf, so unfriendly, so off-putting. One of my favourite XC ski-tours in the Jura skirts a small swamp which is fenced off to prevent livestock and humans from sinking into its murky depth...

If you want to contribute something useful, talk about skis… ……which is what I have done – several times. I can’t be arsed discussing further with someone whose infallibility would put the man in the Vatican to shame. It’s your thread, so you can post up whatever horse shite you like – I doubt if a...

Ahh!........so you’ve finally decided that your Chileans are Spanish after all. Spain. Los Cazadores de Montana. IMG_9520.jpeg IMG_9561.jpeg But then there’s this: Atomic (skins, anyway) Wrong on that count as well. The visible logo is not of Atomic, but I’ll let you figure that one out by yourself ...

US and Chilean reporters were THERE. They reported the pics as being of Chilean forces. ……then they must have spent most of their time in the bar, instead of out on the mountain making notes and taking photographs. They must also have a remarkable ignorance of geography, as the “THERE” (your capita...

So… Sticking to my original post because everything points to Chile on this one… ……and so am I, because everything points to Spain on this one. The Pied Pipers in these pictures are troops of the Spanish infantry regiment Galicia 64 de Cazadores de Montaña. Galicia is in Spain – other geographical ...
