La Clusaz Radikal FWQ 4*

Essential Road Trip supply stop outside Chamonix - officially slowest fast food in the world

Challenging conditions for snowboarding and finishing 16th was not the result I was hoping for. Both me and Chris had picked what we thought was the easiest line on the face to find, or as Chris put it 'freeriding for dummies'. Both of us got lost. The course was super convex at the top so you couldn't really see what was coming up, and the past weeks warm conditions and rain had made the face bulletproof ice. Was not ideal conditions on a snowboard but you have to take what you get in competitions I guess. It was nice to spend a couple of days in France and catch up with my ex-flatmates from lausanne Camille and Margaux, and of course the bunch from the competition. The party back in Verbier on return was excessive as usual. Hoping for some more user friendly conditions in Slovakia next week.
