Shun came to Europe!

Fyi this whole post is backwards since i wasnt paying attention so bear with me.

I picked Shun up in Zurich and we went straight to Sestrier Italy. Skied one day then followed more snow to Gressoney. Skied 2 days with a low viz snowstorm. On the second day I see Rudy who I skied Courmayeur with in the middle station! The world is a village. The next day we show up in the parking lot and low and behold, Giovanni who was skiing with Rudy that day is parked a couple cars away. The next 2 days he showed us around and treated us like gods, giving us first tracks down untouched lines and buying us beers. I love italy!

The 4th day at Monte Rosa, Giovanni and his crew- the swede and bald italian-Helluva crew to say the least

Powder for the people!

the skin up to the line. screw texas, things are bigger in europe!

shun being "blown away"

over to Salza we went, the whole time I was doing my laundry!

Giovanni showed us this line

but the clouds rolled in and low viz prevailed

sweet view

despite the viz we found the goods, all thanks to Giovanni of course

the first couple days the snow wasnt that bad

shun is shorter so he got more faceshots, that SOB

thought about selling this picture to the ski area, but then i just put it up here

ya, so it sucked

oh, and there were sooooooo many people waiting in line for tickets

cars are a little smaller over here

shun enjoyed the hobo lifestyle with me by cooking dinner of the center plaza of gressoney st. jean.

the snowfall the first day

this guys is burned in effigy at the end of Carnivale-case closed on that one

Sistriere, or i mean the space tunnel at station mars
