Italy-Cosmiques-Capucin: POWDAR!

[BettyDee]

Many people are calling it Champocolypse. Yes, it's been so good over here. Storms have been as consistent as high pressure and with the cold temps the snows staying great. I'm finally getting it good after three seasons here.

The Italian side is where it's at. 8,000ft runs and Italian espresso and panini's at the bottom. Sketchy ridge dropping into a variation of the Marbrées. I was scared.

Forrest Coots climbing up to the Capucin Couloir.


Epic view of Mount White from the col.


Forrest rappin' in. Only a 30m rap, because it's so fat right now. We probably could've rapped over a small rock crux below but right before we dropped we saw an old, solo frenchmen ski it smoking a cigarette. We figured we had to ski it too.


It was pretty deep. Forrest is shredding.


Super sketchy, as we came around the corner we see this crown with the debris that ripped all the way to the glacier floor below. There were tracks going right into it and we still don't know the story behind what happened, hope no one was hurt. I was pretty sketched out when I saw this and rode shitty, icy snow in the gut of the couloir where all the sluff was running down. I hesitantly avoided the pow on the same aspect as the crown.


Lower down we find some niceness. You can see the debris out onto the glacier. The bottom of the couloir was some of the best powder I've ridden all year. Straight to Elevation for some brews!


Silly night at the Argentiere hut, me and Powdherb.


Watch this one too! It's even better!

DANG. I'm so jealous

[CarveMan]

Rad. Be there in 2 weeks.

I don't know why but I get anxious when conditions are good in the couple of weeks leading up to a trip - as if it will all change when I arrive and I will get skunked.

But I'm there for almost 4 weeks

impressive interviewing skills. rest is ok too

[subtle plague]

i get the impression that the usage of a totally unironic bro bra lexicon is a prerequiste to make it as a selfemployed onlinejournalist semiprostafarian?

keep on sending the shred!

[Slaag Master]

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skier666]

Oh hell yes!

[The Gnarwhale]

i get the impression that the usage of a totally unironic bro bra lexicon is a prerequiste to make it as a selfemployed onlinejournalist semiprostafarian?

Looking forward to getting dragged up some of those Yerp hills in a couple weeks. Dont worry, I have a Rando Racing bungie I'll bring.
