Mallory on the North Face of Aiguille du Midi. What a crazy day. First of all I had the incredible pleasure of skiing with current Freeride World Champion Leo Slemett, then those 💥🚀⛷powder turns to the tower were all time and last but not least it was June 13th! 📸 @leoslemett ➡️And another powerful storm has just rolled through! @blackcrows_skis @petzl_official @plum_officiel @julbo_eyewear @scarpa_uk @snowcountry.eu @sapaudiabrewing.co @sapaudia.beer.team @conceptchamonix #chamonix #chamlive #montblanc #aiguilledumidi #skiing #powder #freeride #training #nutrition #health #fitness #outside #outdoors #nature #mountains #helmetup
It’s the middle of June & its been snowing hard above Chamonix for 2 days.Mikey Arnold is psyched to ski a big route off Mont Blanc. We bounce ideas off each other about the stability of the Tacul face but after Midi & Cosmiques report 60 to 100 cm we call it off. Last week no partners, this week too much snow, would you believe it! In Chamonix things are drying off & the mist rises above Plan Praz so I go out for a few runs on the bike. The Midi reveals itself through little windows in the cloud, Mallory is totally plastered but I’m guessing the lower crux after the diagonal saw some moisture. Anyway its only 2 pm & any prolonged sun before 8 pm will destroy it. At 5 pm I leave Plan Praz for the last time, its still cold & thickening cloud masks the hot westerly sun. Maybe, just maybe it will work. By 730 pm I’m pretty confident the face won’t see the hot midsummers sun on this day. I start to wonder if it’s just a crazy idea to ski Mallory mid June. Mikey is out so I ping Slemett, Wallace and Vigier a message to see if anyone is still skiing. Nate’s always on the ball & knows I’m thinking Mallory but will decide AM after scoping it. I figure I can ride the first tram, get a close visual of the route & be back to ride my bike by ten if its no go. Slemett is psyched, one of the many reasons why he is World Champion, dedicated to the core. Now Slemett & myself have not met or skied before so we had no idea how each other work. From the tram ride up I see the low crux is icy. Leo skis off slathering some turns down the north side of the arête. The snows definitely stable, last time I was here with Tof everything ripped. As I do up my buckles, 1 snaps off in my hand. 2 weeks on the bike & the feel has gone slightly, I’m looking at terrain in front of my nose rather than way ahead. Leo drops the bomb & straightlines over the ice into the North Face like a missile. Damn, that’s why he’s World Champion! Those top turns were all time-maybe not on my GoPro but diamond studded memories for eternity-thanks for a great adventure Leo @blackcrows_skis @plum_officiel @julbo_eyewear @petzl_official @conceptchamonix @snowcountry.eu @sapaudiabrewing.co
Ok I’m done. Just one more run. An hour later. Just one more run. Brevent 1 - My Arms 0 Had to stop by the store for refreshments on the way home and found out my pack came with beer holders - nice!
Enjoying a brief window on a cold, misty and wet day in Chamonix. A greasy but fun morning on Brevent a finest. Good training staying centered on the bike. Tomorrow should see the end of the storm cycle and a return to skiing â›·
Souvenir of a bonus powdery run from the Grand Gervasutti at the end of May when I went up solo and bumped into @gabrivas @jomidol and a few other like minded guys. I was taper training for bigger and harder lines and Tacul provides a great zone at over 4200 m altitude. Thanks to @mwittorski for the shot. With 40cm falling at 4000 m today we might be skiing powder on the summer solstice! @blackcrows_skis #winteriscoming #wehadsummerinfebruary #helmetup #training #nutrition #fitness #health #outdoors #outside #skiing #powder #skitouring #mountains #glacier #alps #chamonix #montblanc
Bike-run before today’s monsoon. One of my favorite trails in Chamonix with its mix of techy rock and fast flow. Really sweet to benefit from the early lift opening this summer before the bike ban of July & August. @michelleblaydon #nature #outdoors #outside #mtb #biking #cycling #enduro #trailrunning #nomad #santacruzowners #chamonix #montblanc #health #training #nutrition #fitness #brownpow
Great day of riding yesterday with the Italians storming Chamonix as the lifts open for the season @cippatoldmetodoit @nikiradtke @virginiacancellieri @wazzasabba
Trail run with a view @michelleblaydon
Fast one on my home run this morning before the heat turned ⬆️
