Whilst out today in the Morzine backcountry powder, we found this natural bowl-like feature and Simon and the guys got involved with some hang time!

Good times had today doing some backcountry tracks here in Morzine, France. Loads of snow, loads of powder and rewarded with a few brews afterwards, the way it should be!

The view from the chalet this morning. A little overcast I’ll admit, but there’s no chance of not having enough snow!

Just like surfing, skiing is always about the report! What will the conditions be like? Well, I didn’t have to look too far. Here’s a pic straight from the horse’s (in this case Simon) mouth. A little cloudy today, but I’d safely say there is enough of the white stuff to keep us happy!

A few week’s back I discovered my friend Simon had gone out to do a season in the French Alps in the resort of Morzine. So like all good friends, what did I do? I invited myself out to go and hang out for a few days :)

Luckily Simon (and the friends he is staying with) are very kind and said yes to my plea. So I full of stoke, I booked my flights, sorted out transfers and did a little shopping yesterday for some new kit (helmet, goggles and ski pants).

I’m taking 3 different GoPro mounts, plus the Canon 550D, so here’s hoping we get some decent footage.

Next update will be from Morzine tomorrow.
