Early season powder.

Went out for a quick look around in Courchevel today. The hill seems to be shaping up nicely - looking pretty white for the time of year...

Busy times... Kendal Mountain Festival

Not long back from another hectic weekend working on the presenting team at the Kendal Mountain Festival.

Highlights include introducing a certain Mr Glen Plake to a packed house on the Saturday night - a true living legend of skiing & genuine nice guy:



Also top of the list were the film "A Life Ascending", and Timmy O'Neil's lecture - off the wall, innovative, completely mad, but fantastic!

Some classic footage from the French TV archives - they don't make 'em like this any more!
