The second episode of Turns 'n Curves: In La grave is out!

In the meanwhile, in the month of March i was in India where i was involved in a ski mountaineering The North Face expedition, in the Himachal Pradesh region.
The goal of this trip was to attempt a first ski descent of the White Sail (6451m), an insanely beautiful peak in the remote Himalayan range of the Parbati region, near the city of Manali. Here you can see the first blog about the trip wrote by the expedition leader Hilaree O'Neill. The other members of the trip were Jonny Collinson, Emilio Previtali and photographer Chris Figenshau. Plus we had 2 members of Sherpas Cinema with us shooting for Into the Mind ,the new 2 years project movie coming out in the fall 2013: Jay Trusler and Anjin Herndon.
Thank you all for a great adventure!

The first episode of Turns 'n curves is out on EpicTv. I hope u'll enjoy it.

One of the project for this season was filming with Bjarne Salen, for some web episodes coming out on EpicTv and on my sponsors pages.We named it Tuns 'n curves.

Thanks Alex and enjoy it.

Even when the high pressure is bringing us only warm temperatures and sunny days we can still find some good snow, epic terrain and fun skiing to share with friends.
Here is an example of a NON powder day around Verbier with Geraldine and Julien!
Enjoy and happy 2013!!

Finally the paper magazine Backline is out with a fabulous issue rich of beautiful photos from all over the world. If you don't have it yet, go buy it! Here you can see how it looks in two of the articles where i am featuring.

Since this year I decided to dedicate the summer to the climbing, I also decided to not loose all the arms strength in the winter.
So what to do? Ice climbing! Beside the fact that is fun, and that I feel pretty confident with the tools, we get the chance to do it in some incredible environment! I love it!

I'm proud to present you my new touring binding sponsor PLUM

The ski season is finally on and the good feeling are back! I feel that this year has never been easier to come back on skis, even after a long stop, and I was amazed how quickly I got back the right balance, the power and the right feelings under the feet. The smile was there already when I bough my lift pass!
