After lunch we decided to explore a different part of resort and opted for some tree line runs off ‘le lose’ chair lift. Almost immediately we came a across a kicker just off piste. Si and Max both sent huge backflips before we headed into the trees to find some more fresh powder. Trying to keep up with the team as they skilfully weaved in and out of the fir trees was a definite highlight for me. When we got back to the chalet, Simon, Faye and myself decided we wanted to re-build the rail in the garden for a night session after dinner. This was the first time I had built anything out of snow and even though we had a few centimetres of snow the night before, it was hard work shifting the stuff. But the end result couldn’t have been any more perfect. So after dinner and a few beers we all went outside to session the rail. Even I got my boots and board together, but once I started watching the guys destroy the rail I decided it was probably best to take pictures instead. Max was so focused, he refused to go inside until he got his trick ‘back lip 270 out’. I lasted till about midnight before heading to bed with a massive smile on my face after an amazing week. DC, you have out-done yourself. t
