Nike ACG Team Blog : News from the snowbard team

The Mrs and I drove out to Les Deux Alpes for two weeks to get in some summer riding and keep my legs fresh.

The weather has been mostly perfect, up to 25 degrees in the town. Up the hill it had been clear sky all day long and I have had some serious tanning potential.

It was still pretty icy in the mornings and the pipe was bullet proof until about 11ish., we cruised around for a few hours, waiting for it to soften up and found a sick water ride; an oversized pond about 10m in length

We sessioned that for a few hours and got some rad shots, taken by Nick Atkins.


In the park, there were two pipes back to back. They were both in good shape and held up well in the sunshine. I got straight into it and was throwing down 1080s on my first day – aided by the fact that Jonno Verity and Tim Warwood were filming me so I had a bit of Kodak Courage.

The mountain shut at about 1is each day so a crew of us hung out in the park when all the kids were gone and sessioned the hip for a couple hours., until we were kicked off.

Afternoons were filled with fun activities in the sun, such as tennis and skateboarding and lounging at the pool. LOVE IT!
