SkiSickness

After the success of last thursday, I had to take advantage of all the freshly fallen snow before it turned into rock-hard beton, or just melted away completely.

Yesterday's adventure took us to the col du grand saint bernard ~2400m (which was closed).

The terrain around the pass is unreal, unfortunately people always talk about how terrible the snow is around these parts. Maybe they should just get some real skis..who knows.

Tom et al. checking the ridge.


Perfect weather.


Grandes Jorasses behind.


Mont Velán in the background with it's many tempting couloirs.


Crete-ing


Blower test.


Shall we?


Freeride zone.







Strong work Americo-Anglo-Franco-Swiss Team.

You are giving me a mild desire to go skiing.

You are giving me a strong desire to come to Europe. It looks snowy in all your photos, what could possibly go wrong?

Standby for this weeks update.

Bystanders in place....

UPDATE:

C'EST BIEN FOUTU LA

C'est foutu ici aussi mais je m'en fiche; je vais grimper.

we hate you.

xo, the eastern alps.

Went up today, miraculously there was actually some soft snow left.





The Hannibal Couloirs on Mont Velàn. They'll eat your fucking face.

The face eaters looks fat to me now that I'm acclimated to New Mexico.
