PBRJ at Les 2 Alpes

Last weekend we went to the famous snowboarder friendly resort Les Deux Alpes for the second stop in french territory of the European Peanut Butter and Rail Jam tour. After a quick check in on the Friday, we were happy to enjoy a bluebird day on a perfectly shaped and really fun snowpark. Shapers were working on the PBRJ setup at the bottom of the slopes and everything looked pretty good for the next day. Unfortunately, three things could have gone wrong: Saturday was a transfer day which means tons of traffic in the valley, the weather forecast predicted rain all day up to 2500m, and last thing, we had some doubts on the efficiency of the new mountain extreme sport energy drink known as genepi. Anyway, as predicted the weather was really bad the day of the event but the snow was soft and at least we didn’t get much rain, and the energy of the contest, some hot tea, and amazing pizzas and bruschettas kept everyone psyched all day.
