    I fell down the middle those three couloirs under the cable car in Courchevel a good few years back :D Lost a ski a couple of turns from the top and went down in record time on my arris. That's one of my 9 lives used up!

    i bottled it the first time out there many years ago after seeing a few people go down like you did Stevo, but forced myself to do it last year, steep in parts but ok after i kept stopping to pick out the best lines!

    It's not that tricky of you do a couple of turns, stop and repeat. That was the year when I learnt to adjust my own bindings though :lol:
