Blast from the Past, Part III - Chamonix is a Beautiful Place

12 September 2008 No Comment

Let’s get on with our nineties retro theme.

It seems like the nineties had more snow than the latest years? At least there was definately less takers for all that snow, as was seen in the first part of this series, “Snow is Only Frozen Water”. Snowboarders stayed on their jumps and jibs, and your avarage skier wasn’t able to shred much pow at all before he/she fatigued, maybe? Or maybe all this freeriding and off piste skiing stuff just got so much popular at some point in the late 1990’s/early 2000’s?

Besides all the great snow and quality riding/skiing, one thing that makes you want to go back to the mountains is just the scenery and feeling up there. In this post we show some nice shots of the moments in the mountains. We surely miss those moments.

These photos were taken when we were young and stupid - so don’t try all this if you don’t know what you are doing…heh

A questionable line? Made for a nice picture though...
