We crawled the backcountries day after day and we went skiing only if there was fresh powder. Yep, 1999 was an incredible season. It was on those days when I used to listen to few great metal bands. I thought I could take my portable CD player and listen to those bands while skiing. A fabulous idea, I gotta do it! Next day I went skiing Plan D’Aguille which is on the right side of L’Aguille du Midi cabin lift. I went up there with guys and switched on my CD player. Good headbanging music started to flow into my ears.. I turned my skis down and started surfing on the half a meter fresh powder. Man, that skiing was great.. but something sucked! I went down to the forest and stopped. I realized that all I heard during the previous two minutes was the guitars and screaming in my ears. I realized this is not good. I love this music but I do not want to hear it up in the mountains. All I want to hear in mountains is the sound coming from my skis, boots, breath, other dudes, the nature.. It is a peaceful and beautiful place and metal music just does not fit in there. I rather listen to metal in afterski.

I am very glad you liked my article. I agree with you. I was in university at that time as well and it was a perfect time to travel around Europe. Now it would not be possible anymore because of my job and family. It would not be a good idea to say to my kids that "hey, daddy will go skiing for 4 months. See you later.." :) Ryan, thanks for Your feedback! I am very glad you liked my article.
