Onwards and upwards. Shots from last week.

We had some surprisingly good riding last week considering the heat wave that we had here in Chamonix, spring has definitely sprung and spring conditions now reign supreme.

I had a great time with Phil and the 2 Paul's, whilst Seb started the week with the other Advanced BC group, Rowan, Roddy (on skis) and Gordy before Fred Auge took the lead for the latter part of the week. The Summits guys with Miles guiding had a great week eventually riding from just above the Dome du Gouter at around 4300m on Mont Blanc when strong winds called a halt to further progress.

I've already posted some shots from the begining of the week so here's some from the last few days, check them out!

Paul Jacobs leads the way up the Col du Passon couloir.

The rest of the team aren't far behind, Rowan, Gordy and Welli.

Welli carves at speed on the big Passon descent.

Phil scores perfect 10's on the way down!

The 3 P's climbing the Col du Beaugean, a rare moment of quiet from Phil.

Paul finds good crampon purchase on phils beanie during the descent from the Beaugean.

Paul Jacobs gets clean smooth lines down the Beaugean.

Welli gets the good on the Beaugean.

Paul Jacobs on the Beaugean, great snow, great riding and plenty of it!

A great finish to my season here in Chamonix!

I'm now starting to get ready for our 'Voyager' trips to Kamchatka (Russia) heli boarding and then Norway (lyngen Alps) touring before my winter season 2009 finally comes to a finish mid May.

What a winter its been!

More to come!

Neil.
