Riding Footage From The 2006/2007 Season
I’ve put together the video I’ve taken over the 3 weeks of winter riding in the ’06/’07 season: Avoriax, Flims/Laax and a little from the backcountry in Lenzerheide. I’m pleased with what was taken, but I want to do more next season. I want to hit more features off-piste, and if I’m in the park [...]
Photos From Laax
So, as I’ve mentioned recently, whilst we were in Laax we had this idea of staying up on the mountain after the lifts shut to take some photos as the sun was setting. The plan didn’t work out, but here are some photos we did take, while the sun was still up… This photo wasn’t [...]
Back Home
Well, we’re back now. We actually got back yesterday evening. With this trip, I really had the feeeling that I didn’t want to come home. I’m not quite sure why, but it was there. Maybe it’s because this was my last planned trip of the season? Maybe it’s because there’s half a meter forecast to [...]
Foiled
Well, our plan to stay on the mountain until sun set was foiled. To be honest, I’m not sure what I expected to happen. Around 30 to 40 minutes after all the lifts had stopped we were told to ride down by one of the ski patrol/marshal people. At that point, there was us and [...]
Just Riding
The last few days we’ve just been riding around the pistes. It’s so hot here. By the afernoon the slopes are really slushy. There’s great riding to be had on the morning though and then there’s the park for the afternoon. We’ve also watched a little bit of the Brits – there was some impressive [...]
Unnaturally Warm
We’re just about to head out to the hill – and it’s unnaturally warm here. Seriously it could be summer in the town. Still, there’s plenty of snow up on the top to keep us busy and keep us having fun. But it’s just so damn hot…
Backcountry Tour In Lenzerheide
Yesterday, Sunday, three of us took a backcountry tour that started and ended in the resort of Lenzerheide. This was the first real backcountry riding that I’ve done – it was excellent. First off, we were real lucky with the weather. It snowed a fair bit on Saturday and then it was a total blue [...]
Down Time
So we all took the day off today. I woke up with a nasty hangover and a view of fresh snow falling outside. Awesome. At first the thought of missing a day on the hill was bugging me out. But, given that there was zero visibility up there, I had no pre-paid pass that was [...]
