And now for something completely different

Despite a complicated start to the season in terms of snow conditions Aurélien Ducroz is back for a new season of Cham'lines discovering classic couloirs around Chamonix.

A documentary by Arte TV covering a ski touring expedition from the Turkish frontier to the gates of Afghanistan. Crossing the mountains of Iran on skis the team discover its people.

Here is the full 12 minutes of Afterglow. A ski movie filmed in Alaska and featuring a segment with a couple of guys in LED lightsuits.

I don't know which is more insane. The Wilder Kaiser descent we published the other day or Danny Macaskill on his native Skye tacking the Cuillin ridgeline on his mountain bike.

There I was thinking that our local descent of the Dent de Crolles by the Pas de Terreau was pretty gnarly on an MTB but in July Johannes Pistrol completed a descent of the Steinerne Rinne from Goinge

Another nice line for Aurelien Ducroz and his team of Doud's Charlet and Adri Coirier. The Chevalier couloir off the Petite Aiguille Verte.

Those Frenchies may be able to pass a timed slalom at Mach 2.

Aurelien Ducros and his cousin Doud’s Charlet (world freeride snowboard champion) are skiing a line that Ducroz hasn't heard of anyone skiing before.

Fourth in Aurelien Ducroz' Cham-Lines series where he explores some of the well known couloirs of the Mont Blanc range.
