Even although we’re well on our way into summer, the Alps can still provide some excellent conditions for those willing to make the effort.

On Sunday, Gareth Tyler, powpowpow’s newest contributor, and 2 friends hiked above the highest lift in Saas-Fee for about 2 1/2 hours to get some lines and it was definitely worth it!

Had some cracking views of the surrounding glaciers too. As Gareth is normally the one behind the camera, he rarely gets any good shots of himself, its normally him carving down the mountain first to get footage or snaps of everyone else. But just this once someone else got the shot!
