Le retour, 2 ans plus tard.

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Bonjour!

De retour sur les skis après presque deux ans après m’avoir cassé le fémur. Je suis en forme, en Suisse à la fin d’un superbe voyage de découverte dans les Alpes. À venir, un photo reportage de mon voyage avec l’Aventurier Alpin lors du tournage des émissions qui vont paraître l’an prochain.

Mais pour l’instant, un retour sur cet été. Un superbe voyage de ski d’aventure en Patagonie avec José et Jean-Louis. Merci José pour ce beau montage.
Ça fait du bien d’être de retour dans ces belles montagnes du monde. À bientôt.

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…)
