Off-piste Skiing and Snowboarding News
Description
You can hear the snow melt!
We were staying in La Plagne, we'd probably climbed for nomore than half an hour from resort when Luke held his finger up, "shhh, listen", he said. I listened, "I don't hear anything", I told him. "That's just the point, we've hardly left the ski resort and you can hear... nothing, silence, deep, profound silence. You don't get that anywhere else, even in the countryside there is the noise of a tractor, the buzz of insects, the beating of tyres on some distance road, but here the silence is total, you can hear the snow melt beneath your skis."
For Luke, that his reason for going off-piste. You may have others, the challenge of skiing virgin powder or the beauty of curves cut through spring snow, or of conquering peaks on touring equipment. George Leigh Mallory reduced it to the absolute because it is there when asked why he wanted to climb Mt Everest.
I first went skiing in Le Mont Dore in 1975 when I was 11 years old and was instantly hooked. There's something about the clean white snow, the majestic peaks, snowy pine forests that for me is just magic.
