Full Moon Freeride
|
|
|
 |
|
Mother Nature lays down the law!
The weather forecast for this week is in itself looking
extreme;
A series of fronts bringing heavy snowfalls, violent
winds and dense cloud cover....not the best conditions
to hold a night time freeride event.
Therefore, time to pay the mountain some
respect
|
|

|
Tuesday the 10th of March, don’t miss out on the

fire, the camp also features a wood-fired hot
tub, a Tyrolean death-slide, Blackfoot tribe
tepees, views across Mont Blanc and the Lac du

image of alpine tranquillity. |
