Fall-Line December 2010The 'We Love Freeride Issue' is the one to help you plan your powder trips this season.
With the gear and resorts to pretty well guarantee getting the best snowy hit the winter can deliver, this must-read mag is packed with the following fine words and pictures:
How many resorts in the world? We can name just over 100. It seems we have more homework to do. The answer is: a) 732 b) 3254 c) 6004? Answers on p28
Switzerland by snowtrain: our busted train-traveller alights gently in Disentis. Will he still be able to get down the slopes?
Ski Lab: The usual goomers/photogenic staff of Fall-Line give their long-term take on this season's gear
Backcountry Skills: The one you need but never want to use - avalanche rescue
Freeride travel pick: Engelberg and Andermatt. Information about these prize spots has to be forcibly extracted from reluctant pro skiers. They really don't want their secret stash spoiled
All-round travel spot: Morzine, bang in the middle of the excellent Portes du Soleil. France doesn't have to be pricey, we discover
Fall-Line's hidden spot of the month is the Spanish Pyrenees. Oh boy, this place is astounding. And no-one goes there. Yet...
Speed skiing by ebay: yes,it's sort-of possible
Hike and Ride gear: it's tough enough for high-powered downs and liggt and breathable enough for the walk back out again... Salomon, Arc'teryx, Patagonia and the rest deliver their best
Technique: some nice little (and large) tricks to test yourself with
Austria resort finder: It's quite popular with we Brits, so they say... Here's why
The Listings: Every issue we run the shops, courses, slopes and training camps that will make your riding so much better
