    Dream come true: Skiing in Cham with Glen Plake

    In January I entered a contest through Julbo USA's facebook page, and was lucky enough to win a trip to ski in Chamonix for a week with Glen Plake. It was fucking amazing, as you might imagine. I've done some writing about the trip, which you can find here if interested: Clicky

    If you don't want to read, I put together this little video. Mostly POV, and nothing super rad, but its fun and I had fun making it. Plus I wanted to have something to help remember and share my experience. Hope you like! Bonus Plake ski ballet follow cam at the end, just sayin

    Good for you! Skiing with Plake in Cham would be damn fun and a dream for me too. He is just a litte older than me and just simply crushes it still. Hell, just skiing in Cham ..... some day. Enjoyed that. Thanks.

    I hate you, but in a totally rad way you'd totally want someone to. Nice work, and I hope you asked him to help you work on your guatemalan persuader form.

    Great vid. Glen Plake is a true icon in our sport, especially to guys close to his age like me the shape he keeps in and the way he goes after it is inspiring. Thanks

    Thanks everyone!

    Mike here's another pic of the inversion. Maybe the coolest shit I've ever seen. Sunset from the deck of the Refuge des Cosmiques.

    That was amazing, and I'm saying that after being a cham seasonaire for 4 years.
