Weather has been rough lately ... Only good thing is that we still have powder skiing :)

The only thing I can say is that I'm really enjoying the freeriding I've been doing this April. There's still so much snow its unbelievable ! Anyws, here's a few pics ;)

Visibility in Zermatt was so poor we couldn't see 10m ahead... Snow was so deep we couldn't see our feet ;)

We had an awesome w-e in Zermatt. For those who never heard of it, Zermatt is the most famous ski resort in Switzerland, mostly because of the Matterhorn mountain (4500m). Unfortunately, it snowed all week so we didn't get to see any mountains. But skiing was unreal !!!

We skied on the glacier at about 3500m and we shared an amazing tomato fondue in a chalet we rented with some friends from school. Its still snowing a lot in Europe so I'm looking forward to some more great skiing. Take a look at the pow-pow :)

Easter freeride skiing ... Good thing I stayed in Courchevel this week :)

A little glimpse at the Free ridding I was able to do this week. That's the only thing I was able to edit has I'm having trouble with Movie Maker :S Enjoy

Not skiing this w-e I had to study :( Next week it is !

Hey hey 

It has been an awfully long time since I blogged ... Not that I didn't want to but I ran out of time lately. Its the first week without skiing since December and its hard. There's still a lot of snow but I stayed in Switzerland this week because of school constraints. I was doing a preparation class to pass my PMI exam, which is a project managing certification. I'll do the exam later in May :) Plus I had many projects to work on during the w-e. 

I still took time today to go to Montreux, a cute city about 20minutes from Lausanne. I relaxed on the side of the lake and took some time to get back to one of my favorite hobby: drawing. I've been neglecting my drawing in the last few years and I need to get back into it before I start a Design Masters in Milan ;) Hahaha I'm working on some new international long term plans lately and planning some more studies in Euroland. 

We'll see what it leads to. Here's a few pics of Montreux and the ROLEX Center where I study. This futuristic learning center is located right beside my place. Its pretty awesome to study there sitting on huge beanbags.
