A Day Out In Davos?
It seems that the Swiss resort Davos is only around an hour and a half away from our location in Flims/Laax. I don’t know much about the resort other than it is rated highly, in particular by the World Snowboarding Guide. I really like trying new places so it seems a good idea to check [...]

In particular, I don’t think that my current setup is working that well. I’m using the Burton Wheelie Locker, and, by accident, I’ve got the 188cm variety. [...]
