    This is the truth on drugs. (prescription narcotics are gooood)

    Judging from the speed Glissuer ripped that variable snow on wednesday they are the real deal. While we were busy punching through the crust he was way the fuck down valley floating pow turns.

    That's over at Alpe d'Huez. Looks very similar to a spot in La Grave you're thinking of except for the weeny Gazex you can spy just above the fracture line.

    Hehe, very nice work Roo. Inet too slow here to get all the pics but I'll check them out in due course I've gotta say - I'm really bummed not to have skied more with you guys whilst you were here. Another time, preferably when I've got my shit together. Still, the day we had together was lots of fun and it was cool to hang out for a couple of days.

    It has been snowing again all day today. The trees were fun although I am still feeling pretty beaten up and didn't manage many runs. After this season I will never ever start the season with pain stix ever again. Please quote me on this.

    Ripz: your report was awesome! Sorry not to be posting it there - I am on the slowest connection ever...
