The kind of day snowboarders dream of...


It's not often that I write about snowboarding on this blog, but today was so good that it needs to be shared!

I was riding up at the Flégère ski area in the Chamonix valley. The powder was deep and plentiful, the air was fresh and the sky clear, the crystals were sparkly, and I will let the photos tell the rest.















My beard's not normally as white as that...







N.B. The snow that you see flying through the air in some of these photos is not falling from the sky - this is the powder that is displaced as I move through it on my (admittedly rather small for the conditions) snowboard.
