Yes, it is official, we have our first member of the TEAM COULOIRS D'OR!  Let's just give you a quick reminder of how the game works: 5 big ski lines that are accessed by foot.  This man has done: Mettrier Ridge, North East of the Courtes, North face of the Aiguille Martin, South face of the Chardonnet and multiple descents of the Grand Tetons range in Wyoming, USA.  The prize for this is a Mountain Hardwear Gore-tex shell jacket with the team Peakpowder Couloirs d'Or logo.  Congrats!  And of course, others are not far off from joining the team...we'll be keeping you posted.

Inspiring words, rain, snow, cold...one imagines the monsoon season in the Himalayan region of the world.  Mountian summits are covered in white, with humid snow sticking to the rock faces up high and it looks like sticky candy meringue. At lower altitudes, fresh winter snow has fallen on a hard base under 2200m and this new layer mixed with wind leaves the faces looking like Snow White.  The year has started with a bang...not joking about the play on words, but unfortunately too many avalanche accidents to speak of.  We wish you a very beautiful new year with tons of love and happiness, and enjoy your adventures while skiing in the big white planet - but remember to stay safe.  Don't forget that Peakpowder is here, ready and waiting to give you updates and information on the snow conditions.  If you have any questions and/or doubts, call us.  We are always open and happy to share our experience with you and keep you informed.
