In a Big Country Dreams Stay with You.
pop quiz: the lyric above is from what song and artist? clue: I’m not sure Scotland counts, but these guys would disagree.
Preparing for an off piste day, with no helmets, and make do gear. We did hire a guide from New Generation and therefore we were all wearing transceivers though!
Who can believe this was 2007 in Serre Chevalier?!
I recall that this was one of the first times we’d properly had an off-piste day and worn transceivers.
We were quite concerned, as we set out, as to whether our skiing would be up to the task.
We all survived a great day and only the most experienced in the group managed to fall over, but no damage done.
This looks like a more modern video of the route we took on our off piste day, still quite old, but the mountains don’t change.
So, as a reward, when you are all safely in the apres ski bar and the beer is flowing, you have to get the T-shirt…
