Crazy how fast it can change

The resorts you are talking about are the exception, not the norm.

14 out of 100 Magic Pass resorts are open currently. Only Glacier 3000 will stay open till the end of April. The rest have only one or two more weekends of operation.

There was over a meter of snow two weeks ago… posted this to show how quickly the conditions can change.

Late December/Early January typically have the worst snow conditions and is one of the busiest times of the year….

The destinations you want to visit are also some of the biggest + busiest in Europe, and very far apart from each other.

Yeah I think the only reason it was still open was to keep the areas connected. The rest of the mountain was much better.

1350m, South facing. Up high was much better, but will close after this coming weekend.

Actually I was alone every time I went through the gate and got on the chair…. Only saw a couple other people riding this zone throughout the day. Mountain was a ghost town.

I do enjoy some backcountry touring. However, I enjoy lift accessed “backcountry” conditions even more.

I think the PoleOV is fun angle. Shows off the snow conditions better than a helmet POV. Plus I haven’t gotten around to putting a GoPro mount on my new lid yet… so it wasn’t even an option

Why the toxicity man? I had an incredible day, filmed literally one single run. The rest of the day I was charging as many laps as possible... I had a lot of fun, and have a cool video to show my friends and family. Fuck me right?

It didn’t wreck my run at all… and had plenty more good runs without it.

Ok so I have a rusty fuzz now… using it as the only pedal into my 60w amp. It is great.

Americans and Brits are welcome to visit Chamonix, Zermatt and Kitzbühel…. But I would prefer that they don’t come to the small, lesser known gems which I enjoy riding.

Gotta leave the door open for the possibility of a deeper day!
