I hereby would like to wish anyone in this community a happy new year and wish you all the best. May we keep on carving as we've never done before.
See you in a couple of weeks in Zinal :) :)

That is not picture of Barth in this year, yet.
Even after this weekend snowdumb and good grooming it might soon look like it :bravo:

On 1st January, we (Julien, Olivier and I) were making the first tracks in +70cm fresh powder right besides the Barthelemy (which was closed for preparation).

We could not start the new year better! And it was sunny in the afternoon! 8)

Today it's snowing a lot again!
We will definitely have a great snow base for the Swoard ECS! See you there! :D

Happy New Year 2012! :birthday:

Is there a better way to start the new year?
Lots of snow near the top of the Barthelemy (Patrice on the picture).
The sun is there, not too many people on the slopes, so we could enjoy doing first tracks in the powder!

And yesterday we had again 20-30 cm of fresh powdery snow to play with!

Happy new year! :birthday:

The true torture for me this is "my hill". It rains or sleet.
