Courmeyeur for Clive's Bday

Headed to Courmeyeur Italy for Ciara's buddy Clive's birthday today. The valley in chamonix was pretty couldy and the italian side was pretty clear and i got my first sight of Mt Blanc. Pretty unreal. Massive icefalls, seracs, couloirs, anything you can imagine in really big mountains. ASll stuff i have never seen before...crazy. Skied a bunch of groomers, and a few off piste shots that actually had pretty good snow despite the lack of snow here this season. We had some amazing pizza and wine for lunch, followed my awesome cappucino...After lunch we headed out and skied some more off piste stuff that had a lot of lurking rocks under a foot of pow. My new Blizzard Bonafide skis are so good on the variable conditions, they ski pow so well for a 98 underfoot ski..stoked.

After skiing, we headed to an apres spot in the Cham village called Chambre Neuf, and it was a mess. People spilling drinks everywhere, obnoxious music, asses and elbows everywhere....ran out of there for a more relaxing scene at Elevation across the street. Ate some pizza again for dinner at Pizza Paradisio, it had roquefort cheese on it. yuck.

Headed up the Aiguille du Midi tomorrow. so excited!
