My last days in the French Alps in 08. Epic conditions skiing with good friends!

I know it's been a few months since I shot this, but figured with all this summer sun we could use some winter stoke! Thanks to Lars, Christian and Mickael aka Boubou! Who's heading south? Send us some updates:)

Stay tuned for some video from touring in the fjords of Norway.

Jonny Law first day back on the slopes for the 06/07 winter. Contemplating life and Blackcomb peak. DOA is not quite ready to go...but soon.

Jonny and I thought uploading and getting passes from Creekside would be the best call, it wasn't though. We waited in line for a little over an hour, even though we budded half way in. Shhhh don't tell anyone. Once we got up it was all worth it though. Emerald, Red and Garbanzo were open. We mostly skied the groomers as it was little bony off piste. We saw lots of good friends who had been all but non-existent the last six months. Funny how the snow brings us all together. It was easily the best opening day in years. 138cms was on the board, but seemed like better coverage than many Decembers that I can recall. We ventured over to Harmony waterfall area...some dudes were hucking the smaller parts even. That seem a bit dodgy to me...so we played it safe and found some fresh pow in the trees next to Chunkies. Then we drank for about 12hrs straight:P Good times!

The best part is that that's there's about 100cms in the forecast this week and Blackcomb's opening Thurs!
