Badly needed everywhere to be honest especially below 1,400 meters. It's knee deep down to the village here and still snowing. Had to come off the hill as viz is about 1/2 an inch but tomorrow is meant to be clear and fresh snow every night this week0 -

It will be well worth it when you hit the slopes with some fresh snow.
What is it like today? The OH is going to Meribel (from Lyon) this afternoon.0 -

Well thankfully not having a nipper is a big bonus
But the offer stands if you want to get out here. In the mean time I promise, that I will charge hard and jump off everything in sight! All in your honor! I might even manage some BN Lines. 0 -

BN?
By the way how many days piste skiing you reckon is in Engelberg as I reckoned from looking at map previously we might only have two days worth, hence why I was going to wait until last minute dump to go. I read online they've crazy long off piste descents there?
By the way nice powder conservation in those vids if I was there I'd be skiing the full length of slope out of control. There'd be a scandi lynch mob out for me. Never really learned how to do off piste right. Yet.0 -
A But Naked (GNAR the Movie)
For me less than a day on the Titlist side! But that said, they are deceptive in the sense that they are long, even the slopes have altitude drops of 1,000 meters! and some of them are a lot of fun. There is probably another day on the Bruni side too.
Off piste descents there is a big 5 each of about 2,000 -2,200 meter vertical and if you are quick you can get all 5 in a day! Then there is countless other options. Did the Laub myself today and it was glorious!
Hardly powder farming, I am a big believer in First up best dressed!!! Screw you if you are late But in this case it was terrain, I & others was avoiding a few convex terrain traps, and some large glacial crevassas. I was not so polite on other slopes there were large GS turns! I don't think you have any fear of lynch mobs here, the atmosphere was incredible on the hill today locals happy to dole out advice on lines and what every else you needed. 0 -

There's something quite nice about the Jerusalem run, I wasn't aware of its reputation/popularity when I happened upon it, but it does stick out in my mind as one of the memorable pistes of last year. For such a popular piste it seems pretty dead most of the time, I can see why people would like it though - if you like speed it would seem ideal, wide, nice slope and no surprises along the way, and there are also plenty of opportunities to nip off piste and do a few jumps on these little naturally-occurring ramps that seem to be on the edge of it. I recorded some very trippy GoPro footage on that slope, it's usually the first thing I put on the TV when I come home after a few pints on a Friday night!
Cime Caron is a whole different manner of beast, no humming contentedly to yourself on the way down that mountain, it's 100% concentration on those slopes!

Hey Fattes
Not sure if you have ever been this far south;
Limone Piemonte (french/Italian) border..
Serious dump of snow last night!!
Heading there for our annual trip on 2nd Feb, cant wait!
Keep up the great work on tips etc for us mere mortals!
Happy skiing everyone
Sadly not yet!! Looks lovely though and good stats! Always after something different I love the small resorts that have down thing special! That's why I am based here!! Small cosy and something special
I have plenty of footage & race results that shows I am amazingly mortal like everyone else really does look like the weather gods have started to play ball which is great for everyone!
I am a little peeved about it as I am racing solid between now and the 1st of Feb so won't get to enjoy it as much as I would like and won't be at my Alpine base
Enjoy the holidays you may need to pack a snorkel it is that deep0 -

anything I should do to keep my boots good until next year (sad but I don't think i'll get away again) in terms of putting them away - have dried them out and will do up the straps, anything else?
Dont be so negative you may visit me yet!!! Nah just buckle them up tight and leave them somewhere ambient and dry, avoid heat sources (stop warping and cold and damp) If you want stick a plastic cup of bicarbonate soda in them to help deal with the eau du feet. 0 -
