More powder..

Managed to sneak out for another quick tour this afternoon in the brief interlude between weather fronts.
Great conditions again, with perfect powder, up to 40cms deep in places.

Nice views:


Greg enjoying the soft stuff:


Partial opening of the Courchevel/Meribel lift system this Saturday - should be great conditions (certainly on-piste)!

Early season powder.

Went out for a quick look around in Courchevel today. The hill seems to be shaping up nicely - looking pretty white for the time of year...

Skinning up the Loze:



A wintery Grand Bec:



Perfect corduroy, ready for the invasion:



Ginny's first turns of the winter:



Soft & fluffy powder, blue skies ... perfect...

Busy times... Kendal Mountain Festival

Not long back from another hectic weekend working on the presenting team at the Kendal Mountain Festival.

Highlights include introducing a certain Mr Glen Plake to a packed house on the Saturday night - a true living legend of skiing & genuine nice guy:



Also top of the list were the film "A Life Ascending", and Timmy O'Neil's lecture - off the wall, innovative, completely mad, but fantastic!

A Life Ascending trailer here:

Archive footage - Jean-Marc Boivin

Some classic footage from the French TV archives - they don't make 'em like this any more!
