La Grave powder day!

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

We woke this morning to over a foot of new snow in La Grave, which means at least two feet up high.  A group of friends met at the lift line and we all had a blast skiing the pow. The amazing thing is these days seem to happen a fair bit in La Grave.

Skiing Montgenevre & La Grave

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

John Travis and Adrian Ball returned to La Grave for their second year to do some more skiing with us.  We spend a few days skiing in Montgenevre, France.  A great mom and pop ski area that doesn’t see much off-piste skiers and is also right on the Italian border.  So we’ll ski into Italy for lunch and an espresso and enjoy all the amazing terrain nearby.  We then spent another couple days back in La Grave and skied the ultra-classic La Voute Couloir and many others. Both John and Adrian met me a month later in Chamonix to ski off the summit of Mont Blanc.  What a trip!
