December
Laax (Switzerland)
I'm
Metal Free.Whoop Whoop! went on a cheap weekender here. The
conditions were perfect, it had just Dumped down before we got
there. It was sunny blue sky's with powder to play in. These were
the best conditions to start the season metal free. Gutted it was
so short. Laax is great for park lovers, the main lift takes you
to the pipe and park no need to hunt this one out. We found a
back country kicker someone had built. Eventually managed to
navigate the run in to make the landing zone, but it needed to
much work and we had little time. Laax is a great resort on the
slope but pretty lame off it. Having said that I will be going
back. The two parks that were open had a Super Pipe,some kickers,
and some rails.

March
Champoluc (Italy)
Hung
around on the low slopes teaching some friends to snowboard, was
a nice break. Good to be on the snow, but that dam metal was
killing me.
December
Saas Fee (Switzerland)
Went
here for a short weekend. Conditions were icy and frickin
freezing. The park had one big kicker and no pipe. I was still
recovering from a broken leg, and the metal plate they fitted was
giving me grief. Rode for one day and could barely walk or the
rest of the holiday.

April
Bardonecchia (Italy)
I
picked Bardonecchia as i new they had a big pipe
because of the 2006 olympics. Also for the prestige of riding
the olympic pipe.
On
Bardonecchia homepage they also have a web cam fixed on it so i
could check out the condition.
They
have a good crew here looking after the pipe and park.
March
Saalbach (Austria)
Hyped
up as websites inform me that they have two pipes and one is
floodlit !!!
Half
pipe did not exist. locals say they might build one next year.
lucky
for me it had dumped it down before we arrived so had lots of
powder to play in.
Feb
Lesdeuxalps (France)
Wicked
pipe after this i was hooked on riding big halfpipes.
