  2. Started the day late today because all the resorts in the valley were on hold because of snow. It looked like Le Tour had the most terrain open so we hopped on a bus and headed there, it was super socked in when we got to the top so we decided to leave after one run and head back to Grands Montets. We heard they got 28cm since noon yesterday and most of the mountain was closed yesterday. We took a few runs in the magical forest then headed back to the honey hole we found yesterday. It was just as deep if not deeper, but a little wind effected. Had some more great turns and ended the day at the hut for a beer. Last ski day is tomorrow and it’s still snowing a bit, kind of hoping the sun pops so patrol can get some fresh terrain open. Time will tell.

  4. Went to Les Houches today with the guide, had a coffee to start the day off then rolled down for first tram. When we woke up we did not think skiing today was going to be an option, the wind was ripping and very gusty in town, by 830 it had calmed down significantly and by 9 it was pretty much still. Did a few laps with solid over knee turns and it was easy to link knee to waste deep turns together. It continued to snow all day and it just kept getting deeper and better. Our guide kept showing us to new zones and more deep turns, we generally skied the trees and lift lines. The snow was overall pretty light at elevation but you had to watch out for the snow snakes towards the village. We had lunch around 1, followed by a few more knee deep plus turns and finished the day off with a beer in the village with the guide. It is still snowing a bit and should pick up overnight for more good turns tomorrow. We only paid for two days with the guide but he said he will follow up for the rest of our trip and give us weather updates and a plan on where to ski daily. The guide was well worth the money, he was a super cool guy and and absolute ripper. Having a few beers at our place now and about to go get some food and a few more beers, it’s karaoke night at an awesome little watering hole we hit up on Sunday night so we may head there for a bit. Again I did not get many pictures maybe justo will post some, he has some good shots. Little stream crossing towards the base Money shot of the day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. It’s real deal, absolutely mind blowing. The resorts are unlike anything I’ve ever seen, they are massive and it is super easy to get around town and from resort to resort. The cheese and wine is pretty amazing as well. Highly recommend to anyone that can swing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Hit up Les Grand today, delayed start due to a lot of wind at elevation. The guide recommended we stop for coffee on the way there to let things open up. We got on snow around 9:45 when the lifts opened. Had a few really good runs but I have no idea how much snow we actually got because it was so windy. The guide showed us to a magical forest that was blocked from wind and it was really good. They ended up closing the mountain around 2 because of wind and evacuated everyone off from mid station. We all got towed by a sled back to the other side of the resort since the lifts were not spinning where we were stuck and skied down from there. Hit up a real fun zone on the way back to the base and as we got lower in elevation the snow got wetter and heavier with every turn. It’s raining currently in town so hopefully the snow line is not too high and we will get more good turns tomorrow! I didn’t take many pictures today maybe justo will post some.

  9. Hit up Brevent and La Gliere today, lots of sun and ripping groomers. A bit of off paste today but it was hitnor miss depending on the aspect. Hired a guide for tomorrow and they are calling for 5” overnight and 8-13 during the day tomorrow. Also took a ride up the midi because today may have been the only clear day.

  11. This place keeps getting worse by the day.....
  12. Im also the best skier on the mountain, so let me know when you want to spin some laps. Furthermore, Im the best cyclist on this board, claimed.
  13. Im actually not at all, it takes a large snow pack to cover rocks that are 50-80" tall or larger in the summer though. Skiing a full season at a large resort will change the way you look at everything, at the beginning of the season you think "there is no way that whole rock/cliff ban will fill in", by the end of the season you have completely forgotten about that rock/cliff ban until it starts to melt out again. Hell go hike around at Blue in the summer, you will realize what a 48" base really covers.
  14. Since it seem like you have done quite a bit of research on them, how did they quantify 300% less chatter? Vibration sensors, or just marketing bullshit?
  15. Widow Maker is going to blow in tonight, it will be dick deep titty sparkles tomorrow for opening.
  16. Youre talking to a guy that is fat, single and lives in a hotel......

  19. Back to the RTM's again, really?
  20. Hand flexing is bullshit
  21. The Loft should be able to help you out, if they cant get it sorted let me know.
  22. I have a ski stretcher at my house, I dont think we will be able to stretch the 170's up to a 177, but Id bet we could be able to get them in the 175 range. For a good case of beer Ill let you borrow it and we can kill this debate.
