Just another Saturday in Euroland....

After another hectic week (I know I aways say this but it's true!) I chilled in on Friday night and was up pre-sunrise to get some fresh in either CH or F. After Jay cancelled at the last minute (hope your feeling better bro)I decided I would take the short trip to F. Jay said the radar looked good for Cham or Flaine, so I headed to the Grand Massif!

The trip was quick (45) and I was in the parking lot by myself in Sameon. I was one of the first people on the lift and had my own personal gondi...a little stretching:

There was a little inversion happening, but it was a bluebird day!

I had the helmet rocking and the old school SPYs in effect!

It snowed about 10-15cm but is was dust on crust. Anything that had been skied had been soft and then refrozen....but after a little looking around I found some great pockets!

My line (with the roll over this one was fun...I ended up launching some of the rocks later in the day):

It was actually very relaxing to ski alone today....the sky was blue, the temp was perfect, and it gave me time to chill....and enjoy the Alps!

I explored the ski area a little more this trip. There is SOOOOO much here to ski...hopefully one more dump in the forecast and I will get some this year...if not "I will see you next year Grand Massif!"...I may even ride this crazy lift!

I ended the day by skiing some groomers...which were actually really good! (Mom and Dad this place is on the list for you guys)...and a little sunning and a beer:
