Spring Skiing In La Grave…

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

 

Spring skiing in La Grave, France!!! We had such a fun trip.  The skiing there is steep, and you often have to wear a harness for mid route rappels.   We carried crampons and ice ax daily to get up to some of the fun skiiing.

 

It is an adventure not to be missed!

Hey guys, thought you would get a kick out of this ,  I did the Pan Naked and opened the traverse on the Derby Day, LOL

Too much fun,  the best run of my life on a brand new pair of S7′s with PLUM bindings,  It took me my whole life and a bunch of begging this season,  But I finally have the dream skis of my life,  I don’t know if there is a better system on the planet,  but Each turn down that glacier represented an orgasm, LOL.

Even though I couldn’t feel a thing down there,  Standing on the North Face naked with S7′s and Plums on their first descent ever was the best test run of my life and not too mention maybe the craziest thing I have ever done.

Big up to Rossi and Plum for giving me the ride of my life,

Stay tuned to my blog,  story and photos to come

Joey

The photos of me on the traverse are from Keith,  and the last one that is attached is just one I took from my phone of the line,  :-)

PS,  if you have not tried a Plum yet, I highly recommend it,  They have changed the game and looking forward to see whats next.

We are watching it again now at my house,  but here is the link http://unofficialnetworks.com/gnar/
