Chamonix Mont-Blanc

Last week I left Paris for a 5 day trip with Max to meet friends in their cottage in St-Gervais / Mont-Blanc. So on wednesday night we met Romain and Mag from Antibes to their Cottage in the Mountain.

Riding Day 1 Beautiful and Sunny day @ GRANDS MONTETS
Riding Day 2 Beautiful and less Sunny day Megeve and St-Gervais

On Friday we met Milot and Captain Blain in Chamonix where we discovered a great little restaurant Le Bivouac

Riding Day 3 Nice day in Brevent Chamonix

We left with the snowfall on Sunday, so we decided to go back tomorrow with 80cm of the fresh white stuff. Can't wait to float in that powda, with, max, bobby, j and maggy may.

Dany Sabourin on Waivers

Sunday on the train I got a text message saying Sabou was traded to the Oilers for Mathieu Garon and I found it a little fishy. With more info from the news and Saby, the Oilers already have their 2 starting goalies, they wanted to get rid of Garon 1million $ salary and were forced to take him in the trade. Now the Islanders are a good prospect to pick him up on waivers today with DiPietro and MacDonald sidelined Dany Sabourin au ballottage. NYC wouldn't be too shabby.... definitely a better city to live in.

Thats it, thats all

"What is snowboarding to me? It's when I feel passion. That is if passion is a combination of utter joy, frustration and rage. It's my life"

Coming back from a frustrating Snowboarding trip(powder wise, because the scenery, friends and experience was awesome) to the Chamonix region, I saw this amazing film. There expecting 80cm of snow this week, I should head down there again next week-end to ride the real thing.
