8th January: Whiteout


Yep, it's snowing and cloudy, a combination which means that visibility is ZERO! We've spent the afternoon building a kicker out the back of the Home Club in Lavachet and learning to Cab5 and flip into the soft stuff. These conditions are due to continue until at least Saturday. The snowpack is incredibly unstable, so off-piste is right out of the equation. A very well-known and well-respected Pisteur, Bruno, got slid a couple of days ago and is currently in Grenoble Hospital in a coma. I have no intention of joining him, so I'm currently living in kicker-city. The photo today is of a few boards outside Scotty's (where I'm currently sat and enjoying free internet) because any other photo is just going to be white...
