Second ski BASE jump during the @backtobackfreeski

Second ski BASE jump during the @backtobackfreeski last year, I had to pre-jump several meters before the edge of the cliff to clear a bunch of rocks. The visuals were powerful and they are still vivid! #blackyak #madeformission #thulecrew #LEKIusa #roxaboots #blackcrows_skis #dynafit #flysquirrel #superfrenchie

Easy way to get your heart rate up! In all honesty, I SUCK AT JUMP ROPING!!! But I love it! Gets everything going from your calves to core and cardio. Easy full body burn at home. Feel free to give some pointers! #blackyak #madeformissions #thulecrew #LEKIusa #blackcrows_skis #superfrenchie

“Topo maps and satellite images only go so far when putting a project together. You eventually need to go look for yourself”. This is my answer when asked how projects come together. Put in the time, put in the miles, put one foot in front of the other. One mission turns into 10 missions. It’s not a slam dunk. In this particular video, I went on a 20km recon for a potential ski BASE jump and skied a sun baked couloir on the way back. It helped me assess the right time of the day to ski that aspect (ideally 1hr earlier for better skiing and less punchy snow) and getting a feel for the scale/ angle of the terrain before charging a similar face with a massive cliff at the end. Skis are made to travel in the mountains. Use your legs, your brain and get it done. It was also my first time touring with the full @blackyak_global “Hariana” outfit (pants+jacket). It is now my favorite spring touring kit for fast and light missions.

My favorite piece from @blackyak_global, the Bakosi jacket is my go-to down piece, on and off the hill. Perfect for climbing, ski touring and skiing because of its low bulk, warmth and stretch panels. #blackyak #madeformissions #superfrenchie

Risky situations require reaction and adaptation. One of my latest talks @tedxberkeley was recently posted. I shared some keys lessons learned as a mountain athlete that will hopefully help you survive as well ➡️ Link in bio. #superfrenchie #tedx #tedxtalks #tedxspeaker #ted #berkeley #moonshot #2020

This is the exact place where I trained for ski racing as a kid with my coach @pascal_jacquemoud. We also had a race from the plateau up top, starting just below the rock spine, running down the ridge and finishing all the way in the valley. It was a 5km run which would take about 4.5min. Seeing this beautiful picture from @ivressefilms warms my heart. #superfrenchie #home #whereitallbegan
