When there’s no snow ...

.
So what do you do during the summer months? These guys can’t bear to put their skis away for the season ... We came across this video via Facebook, and couldn’t resist a look at the French website. Not dry slope skiing, mountain boarding or roller skis – as you might expect if someone referred to ‘grass skiing’; no, in this clip they use ‘proper’ skis to carve down grassy mountainsides! Moguls = rocks (ouch!). And they must get through a lot of wax.
Anyway, thought we’d share so you can enjoy.
