Back from the Alps...

by Hamster_Huey - last update: Feb 24, 2005

La Meige (3400 m)

Wow!
One of the few free ride (unmonitored) skiing spots in the world accessible by lift. You ski there at your own risks...

I actually skied down this glacier. A friend of mine got crazy enough to take me there. Once you start skiing, there is no other way but down.

Except of course the rescue helicopter...
Goddamnit!! Where did this freaking ski go?
A few hours later my rather uh... unconventional skiing style led me to loose one ski under the unpacked snow. After half an hour, we managed to find it. I was REALLY starting to get scared! (few hamsters have survived a night 3000 meters high)
Absolutly unbelievable view. For advanced skiers only ( I learned it the hard way :)

People die here on a regular basis because of their lack of elementary prudence and planning.

Be careful, only ski there with someone who knows the spot and its traps.

Briancon

The highest city in France...
My old friend Loic. Boy, the man can ski!!!
The gargouille, the famous shopping street in this medieval part of the city.
Hamster Huey, on the city walls
Thawing on the city walls
