Ok, so, there’s not much to say here that the pictures don’t say. It was amazing. We had about 1.5m of fresh powder fall while we were there. It was incredible. Many thanks to Dan, Tim, Mark and Alistair for the photos here below. Quite a few of these pics I wasn’t even close to being in, as it was the better skiiers off in the trees… that said, we did get in them a bit, and increasingly so as it was later in the week.
This video was taken from my impromptu stag.. one of my challenges was to get down Kandahar as fast as I could. Tim?’s best time was 1 minute 50 ish? I was 2:14 or something, so sure, slower, but not that bad I thought. My limit was 3 or 4 minutes I think. At the end you’ll see I scoot through Dan and Tim, they were supposed to be the finish line, though I don’t think they got the memo – so it was a little closer than ideal ;) Thanks to Mark for taking the video.
And here’s a short video of me going through some trees.
And… there was time for being silly.. ;)
Anyway, it was completely amazing – I think I’m basically spoiled for life now!

Heh, it wasn’t actually too bad as the skier either, I gave Mark, I think it was, a lift on another day. I thought it’d throw off your balance more than it actually did!

Heh, unofficial stag getup. There were other tasks which were less fun than being taken off piste on untracked powder – or the race down kandahar.. but it was mostly great fun :)

Ah, you’re not really going that fast to be honest.. and it’s reasonably soft snow. I mean it wouldn’t have been fun if we’d crashed… but hey… you’re only young(ish) and uninjured once ;)
