2nd best ski day ever needs to celebrated properly , sadly no film of the best .
It’s actually really cheered me watching it again cause I know I’m gonna do it again .
On a serious note everyone talks about Canada but the skiing in Valgrisanche and behind Ste Foy is 2nd to none

@jedster, no March 19
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

reassuringly expensive way to quench your thirst after a hard day skiing
I think that's probably the way with heliskiing - it's so bloody expensive that a bottle of Sassicaia is a rounding error.
Haha not really that great - means I have an 8 month long summer. The overseas trip is a nice way to break up the long hot months.
It’s definitely cheaper here than Alaska though. I think it works out about 100 pounds a run here, minimum of 5, usually do 7. Vertical just depends on the snow line. Plenty of good terrain options, and nice to pick the days at short notice to get the good conditions

Good to see the Spoons in their natural habitat, I know mine enjoyed it

Personally I think you get much more excitement for your money with a good guide (in Europe at least). However, if you are very rich and time poor (and can absorb the weeks with no-fly wind or crap snow (my experience), then I can see the appeal. But can you (especially Europeans flying to Alaska) justify the carbon footprint?
Great film @BobinCH, I wish my experience had been like that!

It’s pretty cool to point at a slope and the guide goes: “Sure, we can ski that”
And the heli pilot is amazing - literally landing on a knife edge
Very hard to justify the expense or carbon footprint but if you are a skier it’s hard to turn down this opportunity once in your life…

Literally a metaphorical statement surely?

metaphoric knife edge: front and back of skids in the air. Even steeper drop in front of him.

After a couple of storm days back flying for a final taste of Chugach powder. There’s not many people around so I appear to have started talking to myself
