Just had an email from Jenny and Mackan – they’re up in Sweden doing Swedish Ski Instructing exams, and they’re enjoying the mighty 300m of vertical in Sälen, Sweden. That’s about the same as your average warm-up run in Lac des Vaux…

Amazingly these extreme descents aren’t quite floating their boat and they’ll both be heading back to Verbier to join the team very soon. Which is great news.

And here’s wat it looks like:

Just spent a rather pleasant morning skiing around Gentianes in the sunshine. Naturally, when it’s amazing day, you’ve got great snow and great clients you don’t stop to snap the views, but I did catch Mrs and Miss Ackner enjoying the sunshine outside the Fer a Cheval with Fin (the Border Collie). Very civilised…

Had an amazing day on the hill – woke up to a fresh few inches of snow and headed up into the cloud (after the corporate guys managed to crawl out of their beds). And just as we were all getting used to skiing without knowing where the floor was it all disappeared  and enjoyed some rather impressive pockets of wind blown snow on the itinerary routes.

What did it look like? Well, a bit like this at first…

Then a bit more like this….

Kenta had the day off on Monday so headed over to Nendaz with a few friends for a bit of a change. Naturally, everybody’s favourite grinning Swede took the chance to indulge in a quick photo opportunity with Karro and Maria. The camera loves him, you see…

Just been skiing with Jim and ticked off Chassoure-Tortin, Mont Fort, Gentiennes and Col des Mines. It was amazing and the views at the top were stunning… It’s a tough job.

The view from Atalas…

And the view from Mont Fort…

An unexpected blue sky day meant that Verbier’s most famous areas were all open and in great condition – including Mont Fort and Mont Gelé, where Karolina was up this morning and got these stunning shots…
