Commuting to Geneva

Is pretty.




Actually this is the evening view leaving Geneva. It's very pretty but it's also very long and riddled with nutcase drivers of both cars and mopeds.

New lines

One of the many brilliant things about skiing is that the mountain is always different. Even if you ski the same route twice on the same day you will encounter different snow - maybe faster, icier, slushy, whatever.




The thing I love the most about skiing is exploring! The amazing thing about the Portes du Soleil is that even after 6 years skiing here we're still finding new lines.

We recently found a new line down to Lindarets which is particularly incroyable because we've skied past this route and never seen it at least a hundred times. And it is awesome!

It involves some ravine crossing, bumps, and finishes of with an awesome super-steep (well ok maybe 45 degrees but that's still steep for me) section.
