I thought I'd been as wet as I could possibly be in Scotland.... WRONG!
Wednesday in Les Contamines was the wettest I have EVER been on skis. Even the contents of my rucksack weere soaked. Zero visibility above treeline, slush below, snow rain limit at 1900m. SO WHY were we out there at all? A good question......
Alastair Lee of Posing Productions, makers of Psyche, Set in Stone etc., is looking to turn his talents in an alpine winter direction. He needs to move around on snow, but allegedly skis like Frank Spencer. He does, however, snowboard more than adequately, so a split board solution was finally reached after much internet shopping.
3 days of training in Chamonix followed, with the result that if Al can move around in weather and conditions like that, then when the weather is good enough for filming, it should be straightforward.
On the last day, we had a drier and more scenic day on Brevent, with Al showing what a true pro can do with a camera:
Plus we have some fairly outstanding "making of" footage too....
