Seems like 'real' life start catching a bit on me! Various obligations has delayed this year start the latest since I started snowchasing 7 winters ago. A real busy fall both at work and at school have combined for my most out-of-shape early season ever... To help things up, the warm temperatures brought in the Northeast by La Nina has brought some really bad early season skiing conditions in Quebec cutting a bit my motivation to train... Goodies from the sponsors did get me a bit more pumped up at my upcoming season but it still didn't put me in decent shape....
Nevertheless, I finally catch a plane with Amelie today that would get us to Vancouver. I will stay around BC and Washington for about 3 weeks depending on the precipitation. I am quite stoked to be back after not skiing in North America for 2 years. Revisiting some of my favourite area and trying to explore new spots are on the plan.
Following this journey, I will catch a plane to Kyrgyzstan where I will be joined by my dad for a three weeks trip. This ex-soviet republic is surrounded by China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and more than 60% of his landscape got mountain over 3000m! This should be quite an experience and I am really looking forward at this stretch of my winter!
On the way back from Central Asia, we'll stop for about 2 weeks in Europe for another little roadtrip depending where the snow will be. The only thing sure for now is where we are landing and departing.
If everything goes well, this will get me to the last stretch of my winter to Alaska where I will be first joined again by Amelie for the first two weeks for a roadtrip around Anchorage. The 2 last weeks are still a bit uncertain, but a final plan is getting prepared with Babiche somewhere between Anchorage and Cordova.
Kicking off another world tour!
Stay tuned,
