Rip my old friend and guide Damien Albert...your eternal laugh still echoes in my head

I boarded La Grave in 91.. The second year they opened it for the ski season.. A room, packed lunch and guide was $37.. The guide was mandatory.. I could have possible been the first to snowboard La Grave.. Snowboarding was just starting to catch on in Europe in 91.. I had been boarding since 84 in Alberta, Canada..

I skied La Grave many years during the 90's and early 2000 when I did most of the classics, Pans de Rideaux, Chirouze , not to mention tree skiing on snowy days under the cable car. It leaves you with memories for your whole life. Unfortunately, it has become too crowded. I have now gone in search for the tiny forgotten ski resorts that dot the French, Swiss and Italian Alps, the ones that are out of the way, the places that you can only reach with touring equipment and several hours of hiking. You can get powder days when only you are making tracks and the magic of feeling isolated from the rest of humanity is still alive.

Watching some of the guys ski completely blows my mind sometimes, incredible ability 👍

Pleased to say I have skied and ice-climbed there... Love the way the French say it's YOUR responsibility to keep safe...

It is indeed one of the best freeride spots of the world in a fantastic atmosphere due to the wild environment and that local relaxed freeride community. I have been here a couple of times and skied already with the American guide Joe Vallone when he just arrived here in La Grave, a great guy!
