Avoriaz Mega Post

Avoriaz Mega Post

First day riding Avoriaz. On the trip was: Jordan Mendenhall, Darrell Mathes, Ben Bilocq, Nick Driks, Danny Larsen, Aaron Blatt, Justin, and myself.  Nico Droz hooked it up for us and came out for the ride as well.  We stayed on the edge of the cliff on the left.  These mountains make Utah's mountains look like hills. Big Ben setting up the first BC jump of the year. Glorious walk back to the hotel. Danny taking a lunch break. Jordan, taking a nap/baguette break. Before we came here we heard it was a "no car" town.  I guess that actually means no cars.  They use horses, and if you need to reach the outside world you send a letter with a bird. Our diets consisted of a lot of bread and fromage. King Nico brings his throne everywhere he goes.  Pretty badass. Took a trip to the nearest town to get down on some street shit.  Nick is a little constipated from the carb diet. Jordan going old school with the tee shirt in the streets. Old skinny Jump. Darrell keeping those hands warm with a beer. Nick and myself got lost on the way back up to Avoriaz.  This is Nick staring at the river for answers. New day looking down from the lift. Nick practicing his smith grinds. Awesome day hitting a jump.  Smooth runnin. Gods country. Danny and Justin looking confused. Super excited to hit some shit. Jordan getting ready to hit a spot while Aaron A.K.A Chevy Chase, looks for his angle. Staring at the spot wondering why we just got kicked out. Backcountry Nick in his camo outfit.  VIETGNOME. The view from our balcony.  Not to shabby. Chevy, enjoying the view. Packing up the tight quarters. On our way down for the last time of the trip. This is where we ate breakfast almost everyday.  If you ever come up to Avoriaz go to Changabang!  Snowboard shop/Breakfast spot.  Thats all for this trip, stay tuned for the next.
