Damned if I don't want my own thread.

Here's a couple from today's hike. Pointe d'Angolon. Super steep hike, but the exit is well worth it as you can imagine from the pics...

Bitterly cold day today. Waist deep powder. No avys. Nice.

Haha. For sure we were giving him grief about his kit. It's kinda hard when he heads the French freestyle ski team though...

I'm guessing they just like scratching up rails and ruining their skis.

Pilou, Mamat and the White Cristal Family

Basically, whatever you'd like in a board or skis, they will make you.
Pilou and co know their sht and they have a great snowboard crew here in Avoriaz who seem to be doing well on their boards. White Cristal is a small company basing themselves here in the winter, then heading to Argentina in the summer where they make the skis and boards.

Their skis are kick-ass too. Similar to EP Pros, with a reverse camber and superwide twin tip. Perfect for switch powder landings (if thats what you are into).

Here's another pic of Pilou on his own skis:

That sounds awesome! And the prices are about what id be spending for a mass production board.

Can they do custom base graphics?

Built a back country kicker this afternoon.

[Fonzie18]

So awesome. I'm getting more and more inspired by the day to move to the mountains..

 

[Damo]

Backyard jibbing session last night. Few beers, few friends and some floodlights. Good time.

Fµcken cold though...

Here's some pics from the quarter & roof ride:

We had a kicker, a rail and a wallride built too, but I'll save those for another night...

 

[Damo]

With the slopes being super busy this week with all the English kids and French kids being on school holidays, we are looking for some fun off the mountain.

So here's some pics from yesterday:

 

[stevew]

damn.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Are you guys jumping off a snowshed?

 

[LokiLopez]

Really sick photos.

Planning on moving to the Alps next year, looks like I'll have to ping you a few questions(if that's ok).

 

[Damo]

Are you guys jumping off a snowshed?

It's an avalanche tunnel covering the road in a high risk avy spot. The landing had to be pinpoint accurate due to old fallen trees etc...

The last pic looks a little weird, like he's superimposed on, but I think there was a drop of water on the lens (it was melting off the tree like it was raining)...

 

[Damo]

Better quality pics here.

Facebook seems to soften the images quite a bit...
