Straight back from Gulmarg (see previous post) and straight into an Off Piste clinic. 6 great days of Off Piste riding and Off Piste technique last week. Scored some great fresh turns down the Pas Du Chevre, great turns down into the Dolonne valley in Courmayeur and some steeps down into the Val Veni again out of Courmayeur. It Snowed about 30 to 40 cm towards the end of the week and we had a great last day with a descent of the mid station of the midi in the morning followed by some really deep turns down from the liason between Flegere and Brevent.
Another great week in the bag!
I started my first BC Intro of the season today, a few familiar faces with Gwri, who was on the course last week and Rob and Sara who attended a tech clinic earlier in January. The rest of the team is made up of Xavier, a friend of Gwri and Stewart and Darren who are driving over from Les Carroz every morning.
Its a strong team, fast moving and keen so it should be a great week. The snow is amazing at the moment and today, after transceiver training first thing, we had a fantastic day at Le Tour with some reall nice turns down the Croix du fer bowl, overhead plumes and full white rooms every turn. We followed this up an amazing descent from the Tete du Balm down to Trient for the final bus of the day.
Conditions are great and there are so many places I want to go ride, its difficult to decide where to go! Might head up the Grands Montets tomorrow for a Pas du Chevre via the Rectalin couloir or maybe a hike up the Grands Autannes which looks to be in perfect condition at the moment and is completely untracked.
Choices, choices!
Where we go? I'll let you know!
Neil.
