Out East

 

Zinal Switzerland

 
 

Stories of a 25,500 KM snowboarding road trip out east, and back, was told in a brief meeting after a day in the backcountry of Zinal.

I never got the guys name, but this two minute conversation resonated and stuck with me.

Years later I still visualise a trip I wasn’t on, I can picture a breakdown in Chechnya, a landslide on an unknown road, guns and bandits.

It’s a joy to hear of such escapades and to see the obvious delight in a van, an inanimate object  which holds memories and tales of adventure and propels forwards to more..
