This review is going to cover my initial impressions straight out of the box with very little info on how the thing works. Why? Because, let’s admit it, when a lot of us get a new device we immediately start playing with it until we hit a dead end that drives us to the humiliation of reading the manual.
If you were one of the fortunate few who were able to take advantage of the massive dumps in the French and Swiss Alps then you know what we’re talking about. If not, here’s a bit of what you missed…
A more distant, end of the earth type place would be hard to imagine and for the past four years I had dreamed of skiing these gigantic volcanoes that rise so abruptly from the mythical sounding, Sea of Okhotsk.
If you are thinking about visiting Chamonix next season we have recently teamed up with our friends at Collineige to offer a selection of some of the best chalets in the valley.
Leave the crowds behind and cruise through the ghostly Japanese forests of birch and beech trees catching a quick breath as you surface from yet another turn.
The trilogy is complete - Candide Thovex has managed to break the internet 3 times with his trilogy "One of Those Days". He has been praised, called crazy and pushed boundaries we did not know was possible. Gravity simply does not apply to Candide...
Year after year the Salomon Freeski team set out to capture the world's best skiing and it's destinations. This season they visited a few of our own magical destinations...
We have some prime dates at PRIME PRICES available in Iceland, Canada and Chile.
Trade the crowded runs and chairlifts for a helicopter and the best snow on earth.
It is once in a blue moon that we have something this good come along. Two prime seats have come up for for a week of mind-blowing heliskiing and a mind-blowing price
Looking for a good excuse to go heli-skiing in 2016? We have a couple of incentives that we hope might give yuo a nudge in the right direction.
This February we will be taking an exploratory trip to Greece. Join us and put your mark on the map of Greek skiing history. Two days heli-skiing on mythical Mt Olympus followed by three day in the Pindus Mountains on the Albanian border.
2015 was a strange winter for me – poor snow in Chamonix and a couple of injuries that coincided with the rare powder days. It felt like winter never really happened……..until that is - my annual pilgrimage to Iceland in May.
In the first episode of the new Salomon Freeski TV series the crew heads to Iceland to join our good friend Jökull Bergmann and get a taste of heliskiing on the Troll Peninsula.
In the past weeks the ski community and in particular those living in Chamonix, have said goodbye to some dear friends and truly inspirational characters
Get ready for a season of cruising the pistes in the Alps or tune up the legs for the big heli adventure in Canada with our new partners at the British Alpine Ski and Snowboard School (BASS).
Heli-skiing in Canada conjures up a few images. Vast quantities of deep, dry powder billowing over your head is probably one of them. Fancy, commercial heli-ski lodges and big groups crammed into fleets of oversized helicopters is perhaps another. If you like the sound of the former but the latter doesn’t strike a chord, then a little known corner of northern British Columbia could be just the place to investigate.
Airbag or no airbag, this guy got lucky. VERY lucky. ABS packs are a good invention and can increase safety margins but they are NOT fool-proof lifesaving bits of gear – far from it. Having one on your back should never change the way you ski or the decisions you make.
Just rounded up the first of 6 weeks guiding at Bell 2 Lodge with Last Frontier Heliskiing. Despite some challenging weather we skied awesome snow 7 out of 7 days with big smiles all round.
