Bro Trip: Leysin Switzerland Dec 25-30

[Ripzalot]

My brother Kevin came out for a snowboard trip over the holidays. He could not have timed it better. It snowed the first two days and again on the 5th day. We found knee deep fresh pow turns every day. Fortunately, the snowy and overcast weather chased away the hordes of holiday tourists so we had the place to ourselve most of the time.

Excellent, excellent, trip.......video forthcoming....

BTW, I must mention that he has only snowboarded once before about 4 years ago a total of 7 days. He was making top to bottom runs the first day and got better every day.

But what's with the Fosters? I guess they don't sell PBR in Europe.:eek:

Nice shots... Your pow looks better than my pow did... :/ Something about blue skies and open runs... Like Kirkwood finally had the whole mountain open, but the wind had blown off a lot of the fluff and the clouds/fog, and flat light made it less than ideal. Oh well..

Once again, your shots rock. Sounds like your bro is a natural. Lucky guy with the timing too... Musta been nice!
