Ok, so it seems that people on NS have finally started doing TRs so having had a sweet day I thought, why not share the love eh? Anyway, it isn't a true TR seeing as we were just riding in our normal resort but whatever...

So we spent the day lapping our favourite ridge in Val D'Isere, France which is about a 1/2 hour hike up, pretty tough at times, knife-edge on occasion, for a 30 second (or less) run down, depending on which side you drop. Apologies for the lack of actual skiing shots, none of are that into photography so most of the shots are from the top or bottom. Here goes...

A well-advised ski cut:

A bit of sluff never hurt anybody:

So there you have it, a sweet ridge to ourselves for the day (and most of the season) and a few nice lines to be had. Again, sorry there aren't more skiing pictures. Maybe next time we'll do some rock paper scissors with the camera!
 
Its been real sick, just not the last couple weeks. In Chamonix its been getting warm and is sunny, snow pack is dropping quickly, pray for snow for me!!!
