Stepping up the big mountain riding, we’ve chosen the North Face of the Pramecou as our blood pumping, adrenalin fueling line. After Val D’Isere’s testing grounds, it’s time to step it up with the classic rappell of the North Face. Not for the faint at heart, a 30m rappel will get you on top of 1) steep powder field on the skiers right or 2) tight couloir to the left. Both with exposure and no fall zones.

Riding this line before an afternoon shift in the bootlab was the epitome of froth and excitement.
