Nice find! What a brilliant vid.
The bit at the end where he basically straightlines it through that ultra narrow chute...
Wish I could ride like that.

Good Stick-cam!
Good look finding pow-chutes like that!
His riding is compotent but not inspiring, I'd say. He looks very close to losing it on the last run.

"He looks very close to losing it on the last run"
Yeah I thought that too. Thinking back a couple of year to my last trip to La Plagne, there are chutes of varying width on La Rochette near the fast bubble lift that I fancied, but bottled.
I just got a Gopro so I think I'll get the bar mount and use a stick - it's a very nice perspective.

I'm sure they're not all that scary with some snow on them, but you'll have to hit the right conditions and then beat the ski patrol and all their buddies.

Not sure about holding an ice axe while riding. I think I'd rather take my chances on the board stopping me sliding after a fall rather than taking an axe in the head!

That's lovely. Powder like that... I dream of it!
You can keep your massive jump videos, I like to see someone carving on the pow. I guess its nearer to what I can do (although not to that standard, or obviously oliverd's
)

I thought that too - madness
Nice chutes and powder though.
Getting excited about the season now and thanks for reminding me I need to pay my subs for Weardale Ski

Lovely.
Especially after buying Art of Flight on iTunes this week.
Now [slight hyjack], as I live in Switzerland now I need to know which snowboard to get (we're talking ebay here). Being a born-again boarder I haven't got a danny. Anyone?

I would say he is a very tidy rider..a lovely relaxed style
nothing wrong with riding steeps with a axe - I do it quite often, nice to have the security.
