Air over Dead Ibex

Sick skiing in Chamonix. These guys found a headless, footless dead ibex who apparently unsuccessfully attempted a 500' air to flat on the Brevent side. Poor little fella, he was probably the only one that hadn't been eaten by the french yet. The snow there is worse then the snow here by the sounds of it. Global warming?















And then there is Tahoe, where it is certainly worse snow then here. Chris from splitboard.com demonstrates below:












We are still doing alright, although all the snow in the Bridgers has warmed past 32 degrees and is now in the process of re-freezing into a single solid frozen block of ice. At least it has consolidated enough that the dangerous avalanche danger has gone down. . .
