Phil pops his heliski cherry !

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Première journée comme guide de heliski ! Je commence à comprendre maintenant la merveille de ces machines et le talent des guides qui opèrent dans ces montagnes grandioses avec une rapidité et fluidité incroyable. Une expérience que tout skieur devrait avoir une fois au moins dans sa vie.

Ce monde de montagne rendu accessible par ces machines on un potentiel à exploser mes concepts préexistants ! Dans la série de poupée russes du savoir, je viens d’en ouvrir une et je me trouve avec un gros espace à remplir d’expérience et d’émerveillement. Yes !

Comme jeune guide, c’est un environement intimidant et rempli de défi. On peux-tu en demander plus à la vie ? Un défi de taille dans un environement complexe et enivrant ?C’est pas ça le comble du travail, être content et exité tous le jours ?

J’ai hâte à demain, je suis curieux et j’ai hâte de partager ça avec vous !

Le voyage dans le chalet de montagne est plein ! Il reste quelques places pour les cours d’avalanche ! Quelques voyages sur mesures vont prendre un envol cette année ! Au plaisir d’explore la montagne avec vous émerveillé !

Friday, November 14th, 2008

The latest adventure in Chillan last September. This year, on the last day, we skied safely from the top of the Nevado back down to the MILodge. Probably the most myterious run in Chile… The Shangri-La valley definitely is a magical place! See for yourself.   (more…)

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did doing it. ">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=

Essay:

Wandering Without Answers in PatagoniaThis is where questions come from.The PowderQuest ski guiding season ends. What to do. We both, Pierre and I have three weeks off before our next commitment. Scratch, scratch, scratch…our heads are itching and we are chomping at the bit for some action. There is only so much you can get out of the Santiago disco scene not to mention that at every rave where we end up seems to have the same hombre loving types that gravitates around us even thought we are obviously grinding with the latin lovelies.We take to the sky and fly to Punta Arenas for some more disco and cultural exploration… this time we got chased by this dude and his swinging hammer, a fucking hammer (when I write “we”, I mean me). Enough of that, we pick up our third recovering partner at the airport in our pimping Diesel SUV. Lovely machine but comes from the time before the turbo. We top out at 100km/h and maybe 120km/h downhill with a tail wind. All the way to Puerto Natales we cruise, just in time for the end of the sea kayak guiding course my buddies are on and join them for the ultimo asado fiesta thing. People meet people from all corners of the world and figure out there seven degrees of separation. A good exercise when fueled with vino. (more…)
