That ibex has entirely too many fucking legs.

Whadda guy.

The last time I was skiing in Alta I managed to get a Contour 1080p cam flicked out of its mount by an errant tree branch. Went back and retraced where I'd skied but the snow was deep...

I've been a tourist since the day I was born.
Just passin' through, enjoyin' the view...

No offence intended Rog, but you sound like a right cunt.

Everyday I'm shuttling.

Rest in peace, Sarah.

Shane McConkey, Doug Coombs, Kip Garre, CR Johnson, Craig Kelly, Jamie Pierre, Sarah Burke - it's been a rough run.

Bear in mind that if you hit La Grave in the midst of a storm cycle, it's highly likely that the top section of the lift won't be open and you'll be lapping the trees from 2400m down to P1 at 1800m....

I was there. Was good for a few laps yesterday then got really heavy when the temperature spiked at midday. Was nine degrees when we got over the Lautaret.

Your 1080s are too pimp for South Wales.

So you can get your fist in 40cm deep? Impressive.

Glad to hear you all got out OK. I'm heading down next week. Hope the stability is a little better after a week of clear weather. Will have to have a sneaky dig around.

The bit at 50s in. Is that where that crank fell off in that infamous video released last season?

And there in a nutshell is Cervinia.

Word. I've just been watching the pisteurs driving a piste up what looked like a wind-loaded bowl in Serre Chevalier. That takes a pair of stones. Wonder how many of them get walloped at the start of...

Let me know how it's shaping up. I'm off there in a couple of weeks.

The raping and killing aspect is a bit of a downer. And I bet their lodge facilities aren't as nice as the one at Snowbasin.

Skiing from the Midi to Brevent is technically easy but tiring. Les Houches to Le Tour even more so. When snow cover is thin, your bases will get damaged.

Will be swinging by between Christmas and New Year.

Even Faraday worked out that you cannot mix electricity, water and Joeys.

That photo looks like the face of a woman who has just bitten a dog's ballbag off.

I think COCKGOBLIN is a nice name for a ski company.

If budgets are an issue, why not try Orelle in the Maurienne valley? It's the back door into Val Thorens, and from there you'll be able to explore some far less trafficked ski resorts in mid winter.

I've been in Inssbruck the past couple of days on a press launch. Weird to get out of the plane to driving snow in September. Test route through Solden closed due to 40cm of snow on the ground so we...

Here's another. Took this a couple of weeks back.

Ski an off-piste or out of bounds run in Europe and your life becomes your ante. YOU are responsible for your own existence in a game where losing means checking out for good.

There's gripping and then there's just batshit crazy.

Maybe they're going for first decsent in a tall-t.

Definitely one of my favourites.

Couloir des Cheminee de Mascle, Alpe d'Huez, France.

Does it have inertia or momentum?

Impose suitability on the hill. Make it your little puta.

Just saw this and feel sick. Opened it up thinking "no no no no no".

There is no justice.

Always look forward to seeing Andy's stuff.

The way he gets after it is inspirational.

Didn't like it that much. After about a minute the tiltshift started to grate and then I wished it was just filmed normally.

Just a gimmick, really. Video equivalent of HDR.

Appreciative of the...

Ouch. An even better screaming performance than Tanner though.

Not good.

That movie was so awesome that I was suffused with the spirit of 1986 NY Giants punter Raul Allegre and kicked my bread bin into next door's garden.

Then I did a celebratory mudwalk with a polecam.

The view down from the top.

I know the Poubelle off the GM, but this is the iconic one for me due to Schmidt skiing it and then Plake almost taking Hattrup down it with him.

Good to hear that you managed to hit it. Such an...

For once in my life I am in complete agreement with Jer. I find this worrying.

Did I suggest it was? You want some Couloir Poubelle stoke? Guess why I started this thread? Me too.

Well at least you got that bit right. ;)

Looks like Shaun White found his Mom's hair straighteners.

Watching Scot Schmidt ski this line in Blizzard of Aaahhs opened my eyes to a whole other world of skiing but I'm trying to remember anybody else skiing the chute and apart from a TR from Phil Ingle...

Rivals "you should have been here last week" for smack in the mouth smugness.

Sounds like a hint that you need to be skiing some place else?

From this description it was either Hayduke, Truth or Brownmonkey. I can eliminate myself from your enquiry.

If I go skiing and don't post about it on the internet before, during and afterwards, have I really been skiing?

I can't believe you're a pro.
;)

Don't make me beat you.

My right knee has never been the same. Still can't kick a football for shit.

Great pics. Looks like you were making the best of it despite the lack of snow. It'll make you a better, more versatile...
