Skiing/boarding videos

(Following on from my mangled Oakley's thread...)

So, now that the season has well and truely started, I'm sure some of you have some clips you'd like to share. Here's one of me catching an edge whilst going a little too fast down the final red run (Pierra a Ric) from Les Grands Montets in the Chamonix valley last week:

The snowboarder at the beginning is a mate who I was demonstrating how much quicker you can go on skis to. He had the last laugh though

Here's a short movie of me and a bunch of pals on a flying visit to Alpe d'Huez, Allemont and St Pierre early in December.

vid Roo. I've never managed to do any powder off-piste stuff but would really love to; looks a lot of fun I've finally managed to master mogul black/off-piste runs now so am looking for the next challenge

Cheers. I know the Pierre A Ric run in Argentiere. Great place to crash on tired legs at the end of a long day on the Grand Montets!

Just driven a new Skoda Octavia vRS back from Barcelona and stopped off at to ski some chutes on the side of a volcano that's not in the Pyrenees and not in the Alps. Here's a few pics.











Totally unexpectedly, this was one of the best steep/couloir skiing spots I've ever come across.
