Adventuring avec Ali Bright

Probably one of the most epic weeks in Chamonix that I experienced was hanging out with Madame Ali Bright and her associates.

----How we met each other, there are too many coincidences and mutual friends to discern that one. However, I can happily say that once finding out we both dig skiing, hiking our turns and eating chocolate we were buddies!!

Amongst introducing me to ski touring in Chamonix, Heliskiing in Switzerland and adventuring in St-Gervais and Megeve; Ali also introduced me to her sweet as Uncle and Aunt (Miles and Lisa) and her best buddy, Matt- who proved to be a bad-ass roomate (owning all the dvds you will ever need on a rainy day).

MEGEVE---Up the side of Mt Joli.

A lil tired........



THE TOP!

When we started the descent , the snow was super dooper sketchy so we pulled out of the gully we were about to head down, back onto the ridge. Even though we didn't get to do the full descent the snow in the trees was epic fun corn and the skate back to the village (was hella tiring) and fun-as!



our pathetic attempt at hitchhiking back to the main resort



Walking is more fun anyway, especially when the road is littered with cow and horse poo!


delicious----the chocolate was ali's idea!
