and yes, i'm gonna tell you, you can get better in whistler !!! but that might have something to do with the fact that i'm a crazy canuck

This was all thanks to the great dump of snow we had!

There were a few powder days during my February stay in Zermatt... i will post a foto of my little secret spot where I enjoy powder when it comes

From the position of Matterhorn i guess you could say +/- where this spot is

All the tracks in the snow are mine and I hope this spot will remain untracked even in the future

... made a few (a lot) rides there as it is exactly as steep as I like it... just an ideal spot for me

I used to ski for about 6-7 years but all the effort I did put in was not shown anywhere.. I did not get better. Now after 8-9 years of Snowboarding I don't regret trying it and starting a whole now episode in my life

You mean to get to the area on the photo?

Its worth a try! (Just as long if we dont have to trek for 3 hours though thick snow)

Where abouts is it?

No it just about ~5 minute walk from Hörnli.. But when you look down at first it makes your heart pump a bit

Good old adrenaline!

How deep has the snow been when you do it?

Is it as steep as any other runs? Black or Red?

This part does have a good base, there are no big stones - apart on the sides as you can see on the picture. So you dont need that much cover. Good to have +/-50cm at least and some PowPow on it so you can enjoy it..

It starts as yellow/black.. after about 10 meters it turns to reddish and the end is a pure blue, but you have speed so you enjoy the end a lot..
