After the opening of Leysin where I tracked everything I could, it started to rain. Damn. it was time to find
other spots with better snow condition.
With Leysin friends we moved to the Austrian Alps where the temperature was much colder, meaning still
good snow down there. We rode St-Christoph’s couloirs on the Schindler Spitze on the first day, Serfaus
mellow bowls and lips on the second and then had a day of as it started to snow another 20cm… Finally
we went on the Kaunertal Glacier. Great snow as well on the road than on the slopes sides.

March 2008. I am back home in the Alpes Vaudoises after winning the Verbier Xtreme for the 3rd time.
It just snowed a meter and we are filming with my mate Sven Mermod for our movie “meet the third guy”.
My helmet cam gets every bit of several insane runs down the Glacier3000. Check it out

Lucky enough, we’ve been allowed to jump aboard one of the few gondol that went
up the Berneuse @8:15 this morning.
Priviledged, yes, I know. But you know what one say; right place right time…
A few turns in 30cm of light powder. and the rest of the valley run on the
slope freshly groomed. Yum.
