Aiguille Du Midi

[fujarome]

last week i went up l'aiguille du midi near mont blanc in the alps. (pretty sweet, i nailed my bro with a snowball in august)

and is it ski-able? i hadnt heard of anyone skiing it or anything, but is it? if it is it must have been shot in some movie.

oh, and coming from someone whod never seen real mountains (from new england) an alps trip is definitely necessary to anyone like me.

i forget if it is in ski movie one or two where doug combs has a couple of shots off of the top.

im not talking about the backside, everyone can ski that side, i saw pictures with hundreds of people skiing it.

i meant the front, under the tram.

yeah it is, but 'at your own peril' type of thing; lots of crevasses apparently

 

[jibberkid69]

oh fuck yeah, you can die in a hot second, but death will just make you more glorious

you know when u walk down that thin path to where you can put on ur skis and start cruising? when u look to ur right u can see a little line, and it looks so got damn steep? i saw a old ski movie with glen plake, and he skied it.. looked so crazy! i didnt even think it was possible when i was there!
