Top Powder Day!!!

Fantastic day on the mountain in the most amazing powder!  If the viz is a bit better tomorrow it will be off the scale!!!

Lauren in the deep Pow!



Skiing the avalanche barriers!

Think 5 meters of snow is enough - any chance it can stop dumping now???

Hm........ It's still dumping snow!  Think even the big boy skis may struggle with this?  Spent the last hour listening to the guys blasting the shit out of the mountain, doesn't sound like it's going to be the best up there today......

Travel time again - St Anton!!!

Another epic journey, this time to St Anton! Half way there the train driver informs us we need to leave the train and catch a bus due to the risk of avalanches on the tracks!!!

5 1/2 hrs later I'm here!!!

Kitzbuhel Hahnenkamm!!!

Fantastic Day at the Men's downhill!

Didier Cuche stormed through stormy conditions to win his unprecedented fifth downhill on the Hahnenkamm just two days after announcing his retirement from ski racing at the end of the 2012 season. Cuche has now surpassed the great Austrian racer Franz Klammer with the most downhill wins at Kitzbuhel.
