I was trying out a new compact the other day in Italy but didn’t quite suss it out while on the hoof. However there were a couple of ok shots. Italian snacks kept us going until we got home for a proper feed.

Italy Day 3
Day 3 in Italy. Both dehydrated and a bit tired first thing in the morning. Alpine cold greets us in the shadows. Snow to cold for the skis to slide. Welcoming sun at the col. Col d’Entreve and a Marbree on the menu.
A quick look over the shoulder to make sure the snow isn’t slabbing then go.
Turn 6 exiting the 40/45 degree headwall of Col d’Entreves. Its a rare occasion that I’ve ridden Alaska style on the Euro Big Mountain lines.
One fooked exit.
Italy Day 2
Another fantastic day in Italy with a few runs under the cables then a Marbree to finish. 
Italy
A great day on the Helbronner with Davide de Masi, Liz Daley, Dave Searle and Tom Grant followed by the Carnival in Courmayeur. Thanks guys!
When Davide de Masi said lets go to Courmayeur I didn’t realise he meant by air.
Nice shades!
The Cham Jan Round Up
I’ve been down and out the last couple of days with a niggling cold that has made a comeback after our long day on the midi. Why won’t it just die? Over the last month the guys here have been busy filming, photographing, writing and editing while compiling a round up of January powder action in what must go down as one of the best ever. I was surprised to see a photo of myself in there under the Helbronner cable car, kinda ironic for a Scottish skier to be in Powder Magazine. I grew up skiing using ‘The Force’ in whiteouts with snow varying rapidly and randomly from ice, wind crust, sastrugi, wind buff, powder.
