Pillows, Spines & the Freeride World Tour Boys
I went for one run after work, solo, no pack, beeps or kit. Ipod and tunes. In the lift I met curent Freeride World Tour leader Drew Tabke, competitor Kevin O’Meara and Chamonix locals Dave Searle and Davide de Masi. A 10 turn warm up took us to the pillow field of justice. A 100 foot vertical drop over a ten pillow at roughly 60 degrees. Time to send.
Shame I just had a phone camera and not the 5d but the rest of the fast skiing made me glad not to have the weight with me. With all the big mountain skiing I do nowadays, always keeping in control, I’d forgotten how much fun it is to go fast.

Pow
When you wake up to scenes like this outside the window its obvious its going to be a great day of lift served pow. Instead, we went touring. It took ages to get anywhere, the -20C snow was pretty cold on the feet, I fell in a hole on a ridge up to my neck, our line ripped, all quite frustrating. Then Brevent saved the day with a few laps of 1500 m vertical pow.
