So theres nothing better than getting an unexpected pow day, it had been super warm here for a while and then out the blue we got some fresh. It didnt last too long and never really does at this time of year but still can't really complain !! Here's a little POV edit shot in a morning earlier this month. It's really warm over here now so just playing in the park now really trying to learn some new stuff. Will keep you posted when i get that switch dub 12 !! Peace.

So this last week we've been busy over here in the Powder To The People video comp. Similiar format to other comps like this. We had 72 hours to film, edit and present a five minute film. The snow hadn't been great but there were still stashes about and a few lines to hit. We ended up going for more of a p=ss take theme really and had an amazing time filming. Tobias dislocated his shoulder a few days before the comp so we brought in Mexican skiier Jose Gonzales, joining the DP Productions team alongside Lloyd, my bro and myself. At the end of it i messed up the audio on the final edit so lost alot of the storyline through this. Still had an amazing few days and went home with a load of free gear and €200 voucher after prize giving. There was a huge turnout for the party and showing and i'm sure next years comp is gonna be massive!!!

Had another mixed week over here so guess we'll start with the least positive news. We normally ski in a small crew over here, most times just 3 of us my bro Niall, Tobias and myself. We split last week as Niall wanted to head to Zurs to hike a ridge and ski with some work mates and we had decided to hit some stuff in resort. We got a call half way through the day saying there had been a huge slide when Niall and crew were hiking up, we weren't really sure what had happened but we found later on the size of this huge, huge slide. When hiking up a massive cornice had cracked off and fallen away but as it fell it also released the face to their left, by the size of what we heard this was absolutely huge. Two of them were literally left hanging off the edge within centimetres of being dragged into this avalanche. They are all experienced and have spent a lot of time in the mountains and luckily no one was hurt or killed. Even though the season's coming towards a close don't let your guard drop and never go off piste without all the right equipment and make sure you know how to use it and your crew do as well !!! Check out this website www.henrysavalanchetalk.com !!

Whilst this was going on we were shooting back in St Anton and this shot below is just before finding out about the slide.

So for the good news of the week. We've been waiting to hit a cliff in an area we call Rocky Mountains for a few weeks now. We've been there a few times and the conditions were never that great so we held out for the right time. None of us had hit this cliff before so weren't fully sure what to expect. Below is a screenshot from some film we were shooting, got some great photos coming off it as well but you'll have to wait to see them !!! Peace.

I had the fun of the first hit to test it out !!

Had quite a busy past month travelling about Italy, Germany, Uk, Switzerland and had a real mix of snow. It got super warm everywhere for a couple of weeks which didnt help the snow at all but then we got some fresh a few days back and everything's starting to look good again ! There's a POV edit below from the last month so enjoy, peace.

Another huge loss as a pioneering ski legend dies.

So we've been given a dusting of snow this past week. Not a load but enough to go out and have fun for sure. It's been hard to find great snow and been even harder to tell if landings are going to be soft or not. Managed to lose a ski after backslapping on an icy landing so thanks Tobias for finding the ski !! Got a load of filming done and got some great shots as well. Got a pretty hectic couple of weeks coming up flying about Europe for snow and fun so really excited. Gonna be heading to Italy next week so will post some shots from there when i get back. For the moment i've taken some screen shots from my head cam so enjoy . . . . . .

Popping pretty hard to get to my landing which turned out to be solid !!

Floaty pillow landing much better !!

Getting a nice little face shot whilst trying to remember my line.

Choose your landing !!

That's how you backslap !!

ISPO

So for no one that's ever been to ISPO, it's crazy !! The place is huge filled with so many stands with exhibitors showing off all their new gear and also so much shit it's unbelievable. It was cool to see the Storm stand getting a load of attention and awesome to see it sandwiched between Armada, Scott and Orage (not the worst spot to be ). We drove down from St Anton in the morning so we had a full day there to check out all of next years stuff and have a few drinks. Some cool gear for next season which i'm sure you'll see on the homepage of this site soon. Personally Volcom stole the show for me, huge skate ramp, stage and band and free bar. The free bar also had some of the most drunk bar tenders i've seen behind a bar who supplied whatever concoction they decided to make. After smashing the free bar and then the free beer from Horsefeathers we headed into town with the 3CS crew. We were then in the biggest beer drinking hall i've ever seen and stayed there for a few beers, these are served in litre glasses so you don't need to be there too long !! We then headed to a friends hostel that had a bar and started finishing ourselves off there, not free this time but super cheap drinks and a group of guys stripping on the tables: weird !! To finish it all off we managed to sneak into the hostel and stay there for free without anyone noticing. Anyway you get the vague idea of ISPO and if you can make it through the day then the night and parties are awesome !! All pictures blurry as left my camera in the car so had to use GoPro instead !!

A lot of shit gimmicks !

They won't let you touch the very shittest of stuff !!

Ride snowboards on the left with their very own mini jungle stand !

3CS, awesome outerwear !!

Volcom carnage !!

Free beer ?? Yes !!

Blurry but you get the idea !!

Yep big enough to fit the camera inside !!

Big !!

The last week has been awesome !!! Big days riding, big face shots, big parties, big smiles: Good times !! We've been getting a fair bit of snow in The Arlberg over the last week and have been having a great time playing in it. It's also been getting warmer which has made a lot of areas dangerous and un-skiable at the moment. Sadly there have been 4 people killed in avalanches this last week but for some reason some Ski Schule St Anton instructors still think it's fine to ride off piste with no packs. I think this is really shit as they're meant to be leading and setting an example to people !! Anyways back to good things . . . Chris Benchetler has been here this week riding and raffled off a pair of his 10/11 pro model ski which my Mum won haha she's obviously stoked as can now ride switch pow all day long !! Here's some shots from the last few days. . more snow on its way as well, sweeeeeeeeeet !! Peace.
