La Grave 2012 – Rama Couloir from J A on Vimeo.

Probably the best days skiing I’ve ever had. Blue skies, a helicopter, good snow, and great company. Thanks Eric and Pelle!

The Skiers Lodge in La Grave is perfectly positioned for the biggest lift accessed off piste skiing in the world with 2150 vertical metres (7,050+feet) of freeriding terrain to enjoy. The Skiers Lodge caters for groups or for the independent advanced skiers who would like a 6-days-guiding and lodging at an all inclusive price. La Grave, de la Meije is not a ski resort.

A typical ski descent offers limitless variety from tame to steep terrain commencing on this glacier, proceeding down spectacular open bowls, winding its way through small chutes, crossing glacial moraines into seemingly endless steeps and deeps in the serenity of the forest.

Each day all guides will attend a morning safety briefing and will provide full support in planning, safety and coordinating to ensure all have a successful day. If conditions are not ideal in La Grave, we use our mini buses to visit any one of the ten neighboring resorts with their own micro climates.

If you’re on the market for avalanche safety equipment, look no further.

WIth the introduction of the Tour F12 and F10 AT bindings, Marker created the ultimate tool for the skier who wants to do all-day tours while maintaining great performance while descending.

Throughout the early 70′s a smart guy by the name of Eric Giese had worked for NASA in the days of early space suits for the first landings on the moon. The big problem in space suits is they had cooling, heating and electric lines running throughout the suit and as the astronauts did space walks they had a big problem with them kinking and getting crimped when people tried to walk with their knees and ankles flexing.
