Blower Pow, Pillows and Exposure in La Grave

The last couple days of skiing in La Grave have continued to deliver!

With the snow pack tightening and skies still mostly clear we able to get onto some steeper slopes ski some bigger runs to the Valley. Pan Rideaux was the most exciting with some steep turns, serious exposure and deep pow. But Chirousse the 2400m vert epic was a close second. Rocky Garden provided blower pow under blue skies so all good. I can't wipe the grin off my face! Lars Krantz and Even Ofstad of BigTrix.com are awesome guys to shred with. More to come...

Getting into the Alpine in La Grave

So the storming stopped finally and we woke to blue bird skies and about 40cms of fresh. Lars, Ida and I hit up a bunch of alpine chutes and the hit the Freaux couloir all the way down to the rode. We stuck mostly lower angle and sheltered slopes as avalanche danger is high. As stability improves we should be able to start skiing higher and steeper lines.

La Grave is Getting Nuked!

I just arrive in France and the snow started falling in La Grave. Yesterday winds were over 100kmh in the Alpine, it snowed about 30 to 40cms so Lars and I decided to go for a small ski tour.

Today is blue bird:)

Helmet Cam Video on Blackcomb

So this weekend we just so happened to have yet another ubelievable mega dump on our home turf of Whistler Blackcomb. 24cm on Sat, 23cm on Sun, and winds that must have blown that much again into the spots that we were skiing....

Out came the new helmet cam and the new fat boards - Goliath's made by Movement, the Swiss Freeride Company.

So here's the vid. Take a gravol before you watch it. It's pretty rouch cut and nauseating.

Jack's back from the UK for the holidays so I had to show him the new zone in the Duffy Lake area. The snow up there looks like it should be the middle of Febuary. We dug a pit at tree-line and found 2.5 meters! This season keeps getting better! Pics:

a skier's dream

Last night I had this wonderful dream (the rumer about you dream about what you last think about is SOO true!). The dream was that I was hanging out with my besties when my dad gives me a ring and he's like "the mountains just got 3 feet of snow and there is more on the way." so I totally freak about and I'm like "I am so going skiing tomorrow and you aren't stopping me!!" (I think there was school the next day...) So I get up to my local resort and there is 4 feet of fresh snow! Suddenly, the clouds roll away and the suns peaks out. The best day ski day of the century is right in front of me!! I skied all day, I didn't even stop to eat lunch. What a wonderful dream I had. Last season was ah mazing, we did have 4 feet of snow once (or twice maybe even three... I can't remember) but when we had the snow, there was never sunshine. I really wish that dream would come true...

Cold Smoke in Fernie

It keeps getting better as it continues to snow here in the Fernie Snow Valley. The official reports are finally in from FAR, there has been 70 cm of snow since it started falling on Wednesday of last week... although it seems like alot more when your skiing it.

Sunday was probably the best turns of the season, it really doesn't get much better than this, a good 20 cm of the lightest driest Cold Smoke this valley can produce on top of the 50 cm received in the days before.

Beware of the Avalanche Hazard out there, we had large slab rip out on us on a south facing wind loaded slope.
