A busy week; ski testing, shredding and packing

This week has been a fury of activity, starting with booking a plane ticket to Geneva Switzerland  to attend the Nendaz Freeride Qualifying tour stop, the sister event to Verbier,  then playing email tag with hotels, and figuring out  train schedules.  Along with contacts photographers seeing if  anyone is heading over during that time to shoot. 

 By Wednesday I  make the call not to drive the 12 hours to  Toas solo to compete  Salomon New Mexico  freeride event. This  turned out to be a great call on my part,  with a new storm on the horizen  and friends in town for the Skiing magazine ski test. I chose to hang tight in the SLC.  

By Thursday  I had gone from ski test groupie to member of the band (or test) and on the best day of the test, 10 inches of fresh and a quiver of next years powder skis to be tested.  This was so much fun, ripping around on all of the different makes and models. I  able to get on pair of my first reverse camber/ rockered  skis and I must say that they are damn fun.   Going bell to bell, 9 to 4  with some Stella's and boomerangs at the Stizmark bar cristening  an amazing day of skiing, as the snow still fell lightly in the evening alpin glow.

Over the next few days I ripped around the bird  trying to get my comp. legs under me with old friend as we searched for fresh pockets of powder. 

Then came the chore packing, weighting bags so not to have to pay to much at the airport  and preparing for the day of travel over the Europe tomorrow. Keep checking back as I update my travel's and skiing on this European journey.
