That looks like my kind of riding - stunning ZZ - did the Mary not fit in the suitcase?
Kaiser, I was boarding at Chamonix as well as skiing, most friends were on boards too, they seem to like it but as a skier I thought it was brilliant. Never had any other foreign boarding holidays to compare it to although glenshee was brilliant one year.
I'm not good on a board, I only switched because I did my knee in skiing, I still don't like facing sideways down a hill but I can side slide on the back edge at 20mph+
TBH giving up skiing is one of the main reasons I got back into cycling.
