Welcome to the PisteHors.com forum. A place to discuss backcountry ski and snowboard touring and equipment as well as hiking, climbing and mountain biking. First of all why add a forum? Well people have been asking us for this space for three years. We’d originally resisted as there are some pretty good forums out there:

http://www.snowheads.com/ for general skiing information
http://www.telemarktips.com/ oriented towards Telemark and AT skiing, particularly in the US
http://www.backcountrymagazine.com/ Backcountry magazine’s forum focused on the North American market

to name just three.

However over the last 12 months it has become obvious from your feedback that what was lacking was a ski (and board) forum oriented towards European off-piste and backcountry. A place where you can relax and chat about trips and snow conditions. Exchange avalanche information and discuss the latest gear. It will also give us a place to post articles which don’t fit on the front page.

We are not launching the forum officially until the autumn but if you are already a PisteHors.com member you can post to the forums.

If you have ideas for other group headings or improvements post them below.

cool! look forward to the start of the 2007-2008 ski season!

Excellent News ..... !

I think this is going to take off as the word gets out. Much better to have a forum just for Off piste. Thanks for doing this, great move.

snowcrazy - great to see your ‘Call Sign’ .... !

Have had e-mails ‘Undelivered’ by Mailer Deamon. ET Phone/e-mail home!

thanks, the idea is to have a lower traffic forum focussed primarily on Euro off-piste.

I always say that is better to work with less people, quality people, than whit all, no quality.
Good work

Hi Rob,

glad you have found us, as you can see the forum is low traffic - I guess everyone, me included, is too busy skiing during the winter months (or working).
