It didn’t really stop snowing for about 24 hours, and the powder yesterday was amazing. Possibly compounded by the fact we’ve not had any for ages, but really.. that’s what it’s all about. THIS is why I live in a ski resort, so that when we get moments like this I’m ready to get the fat skis out of the quiver and get going.

Much of the higher stuff was, predictably enough, closed yesterday since they didn’t have time to bash it all properly, and there was avalanche risk higher up, so I stuck in down lower in the trees and found one of my favourite runs.

I ended up just doing it again and again and again.

Totally amazing. Just flying down on my Movement Goliath’s (a remarkable ski which just eat up anything – it’s like being on a huge motocross bike – you’re unstoppable!)

The powder was so deep that the fact that my flies don’t do up full actually became a bit of an issue. (From the snow coming in, you understand, not all the excitement.) Brilliant.

If you have the means and the time, I strongly suggest getting on a train and getting out to the alps ASAP. Quit you job if you have to – life is very very short and doesn’t have enough moments like this.
