2012-2013 Euro Season Review (Western CH Edition)
What a season. Best in 28 years according to reports. So much pow. Not enough time off.
Here are some highlights of 2012-2013 in Western CH and the area.
Music by Method Man
Early December...3...2...1...dropping
Geo039 killing it Leysin
KKrizzknuckles
Tamster
Skiing the road back to the lift first day of the season
Chandlin with Incompetent Boob
Zinal time!
Solo day in Vicheres
Another pow day...Les Marecottes with Geo039
It's not a euro TR without food
And a view...Vicheres again
Things got a little windripped at New Years so we had to do other things in La Fouly
And drinking of course

Glacier3000 pow day. Never so early in the Combe.
My buddy McLovin hittin' frontside
Pretty damn stoked on Jan 2
Verbier, Mont Fort Backside with Tamster, BobinCH, and Incompetent Boob

Time to change the language. Headed to Courmayeur for a fantastic pow day.
It got cloudy so we did a lap off the top then moved into the trees

Killin' the pow
And killin' the food
Back to Leysin with Tamster and McLovin
FINALLY, I hook up with local legend Orash111 for a massively fun day at Les Marecottes
Back to G3000, top to bottom laps all day long. All. Day. Long. Took more video than pics. Video coming soon.

Boob taking off
Mid-Feb and doing it again at G3000. Hit the backside this time - 2000m top to bottom! Pow!
Got a little scrappy late Feb so went to Nax to explore and ski some pistes and eat some croutes
Kitty loves Downskis!

March petered out a bit for pow. S'ok, we can always get high and find a little pow.
Verbier again with McLovin and Incompetent Boob. Stairway to Heaven.
Followed by a Method Man/Redman + Cypress Hill concert in Crans Montana.
Back to G3000. Another pow day. This time with Geo039 and KKrizzknuckles.
Long time since we saw Ovronnaz. With McLovin and Tamster.
Tamster
McLovin
Kitty guards the downskis back home
April comes around and the big stuff is ready.
Verbier, watching Incompetent Boob ski Bec des Rosses while extremely jetlagged.
And made new friends
Squeezing out one last pow day at G3000
Luckier than most
How was the season?

Nice review! Thanks for sharing.
Still trying to squeeze out a few spring tours...... but summer is approaching fast.
Will get on the bike at some point also, but have not even cleaned it yet from the last season. Ouuuch.......

Me a local legend? Why thank you, but I doubt that's true. You've been in CH much longer than me so I doubt I can be called local. Plus I look up to so many others for inspiration myself. Thanks though for that compliment. Was sweet ripping up pow together.

i didn't have great luck with picking my holidays this season. decided to take easter off to visit FL and ascension holiday for CPH. both dates are loaded with snow and good to go.
think of me as a sacrificial lamb for Ullr. someone's gotta do it.
