Party, Study, back to Lausanne city

Another big week behind me. It all started on monday the 18th with Bernie's 50th birthday, which turned out great: about 100 guests invited for the event, all drinks free the entire night, the perfect combination for a great party!

Victor and me started the show with 95 speedboat shots. Red Bull in the tee glasses, Jagermeister in the shot glasses. You have to tip the first shot, and they all go, the first shot kicking the next one in...speedboat style!


Then, after a couple drinks, we offer our gift to Bernie, a nice Gyro G9 Helmet, so that Bernie can be safer going out there on the slopes!

At the end of the evening, I even managed to get on stage for a couple improvised song, including "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones

After this great night, sleep 2h30, then take the train with two full suitcases back to Lausanne. I had to hurry, because I had a statistics course in the afternoon...

After a crazy week, trying to get back in the Lausanne lifestyle, I went out running on the lake side on Saturday, to try and catch some of the sun on that beautiful February day...15 degrees outside! Not like Quebec...


Taking it easy in the sunshine...

This is it, back home in Lausanne

Back to Zermatt next week end!! Looking Forward to be back on the slopes!!

Last day in Paradise

This is it, last day in Zermatt. Snowboarding days are behind me, and the big party is up for tonight (Bernie's 50th birthday) to end the show. It has been a wonderful 2 month, a never ending rollercoaster for me.

For my last day, I was not planning on resting, even if I had a pretty late night at the SchneeWittchen (a club in Zermatt).

I take my freshly bought avalanche gear and join Viktor and Karl to get a last couple of off-piste runs!

First, we start with a crazy colar, down Gornergrat face #2

We continue with the narrowest colar I've done in my life, called the Grünsee Colar


We go back up again for another ride down Gornergrat face #2
(See me in action, middle of the picture)

After a nice day on the mountain, we get set for the big party.

We start with a little beer to celebrate the nice day on the runs

I have to pack my suitcase because tomorrow i'm going back to Lausanne, back to University.

After a big season, you can see my board has been used a bit...off piste

Still, I managed to get a couple runs with Bernie last friday:

Just before going down the Rothorn Face

This is it: Cheers for the great time spent here in Paradise!!
