I'm so excited...The first one looks like it needs to be done on an empty stomach! :lol:
Edit: Is the last pic a close up of the first pic?

Following on from an earlier post...
La Garganta in Portillo.
Fun once you are on.....
Frightening at the top....
Safe to say, with a fractured skull and colarbone, I did a fair bit of slip-sliding down this one :)
and to illustrate what I was not doing on it...
:shock:

Cheers Pabs, had not seen the whole set.... It is an awesome resort, not a huge area or a great amount of vertical, but it is steep.
This is the best road in the world, and it is the main highway between Santiago in Chile and Mendoza in Argentina. when riding at lunchtime it is logjammed with trucks.

When I first looked at these pictures, I wondered how I had got down there, but once you are there adrenalin kicks in and you just get on with it. I love doing some of this kind of stuff now and then.
Is that first picture somewhere in Tignes, after going up a "tres difficile" poma lift? If not, it looks an awful lot like something I skied this year, with solid ice moguls that had in some places formed into simple steps. Tried the aggressive approach for the whole of 5 seconds, at which my point my feet starter to hurt lots.
It's a ridiculous hour of the morning, so I'll add my bit another time.

Nope, I've never skied Tignes. These were all taken at Verbier between Chassoure and Tortin and Siviez and it wasn't at all icy, in fact quite a nice soft snow.Gooseh wrote:Tony_H wrote:Just for you Snowbandit, heres what to expect in January:
