ah yeah: i also ate a shitload of tapas.

april pow/slush

10 Apr 2012

it’s hard to still find pow now here in europe, but we still found some pockets up here. typical april weather up here, so it was windowshoping all day long.

this is the valley, boardshorts is what we should be wearing now, instead were in our stinky boots..

but we were hopeing if we hike high enough there is still some pockets..

this is the spot we did yesterday. sweetspot was far away, but i somehow found speed..

and this is what we found today (stolen on howzeedotcom instagram).. since nobody did this one before, i had the honor to name the spot. the snow was getting worse every time i dropped in so it earned the name “last chance”.

spring is definitely coming.. big junks of snow rolling down the mountain..

we even had to “climb” down the mountain to get out of the zone.

still it was two fun days! springsession in laax next! booya!
