French Alps, South of France

Risoul Ski Resort, French Alps

01.11.10 | Comment?

*above is a rough lil’ vid I’ve uploaded to facebook of clips from the trip I took on the Kodak Zi8.

I (Chris) finally got some more snowboarding in this year at Risoul/Vars in the french alps. A Last minute decision with go for 6 days of boarding & partying with the fanatics crew from Boxing Day onwards. Accompanied by my younger bro Andrew, his partner Bex and our mutual friend Bryce. We had a pretty mint little apartment right up the hill next to the lifts and there was something to do (mostly drinking) organised everynight as well as of course New Years! We had a couple of bluebird powder days so it was smiles all round apart from a few complete white-outs on some of the days.

All in all it was a pretty decent mountain, it didn’t “wow” me but hey any snowboarding is better than none. For anyone considering Risoul for some Skiing or boarding make sure you head over to Vars at some stage, as we found the skiing and boarding (& snow) to be better over there, it takes roughly 25 means on the lifts to get there.

After 5 weeks away including: 11 flights; 12 airports; 15 beds; 2 bags; 1 laptop; a few sleepless nights; countless itchy bites & just 3 pairs of socks, we’re now back in London.

We want to send a big shout out to all of the amazing people we met & the friends we made along the way – our trip couldn’t have been what it was without each and every one of you!

Now to plan the next one…. South America anyone?! ;)
