Skiing Epic Lines Off Mont Blanc: ‘Topside’ Goes to ‘Chamonix Slackcountry’


According to Nikolai Schirmer in Topside, ‘the Chamonix slackcountry is everything but slack.’

This episode of Topside opens on the French-Italian border of Mont Blanc. The wind is howling. You can hear the slight crunch as two skiers steadily bootpack up the backbone of a peak. On both aspect of them, the Earth drops 1000’s of toes, far under.

In episode 2 of Topside, skier Nikolai Schirmer offers us a take a look at the early season on the Aiguilles d’Entrèves, circa December 2022. The snow appears nice and the terrain appears completely epic.

And the snowboarding ain’t too shabby, both. Follow alongside, on the uphill “powder train,” with a couple of native Chamonix legends, plus Schirmer. There are good the reason why snowboarding the face of the Aiguilles d’Entrèves was on Shirmer’s bucket record. Topside is a glimpse into what makes this area such a snowboarding hub.

Does Topside make you would like you have been snowboarding Mont Blanc, Chamonix? Or actually wherever in France? Us too.
