Snowboard Greece – The Kalavrita Kicker Diaries
Just after yet another snowboard contest/gathering at Kalavrita resort this season, Spiro decided to set up a kicker session with an open invitiation to whoever hadn’t left the mountain yet. Early Sunday morning he walked up to a spot he’d scoped out a few days before and started digging. A couple hours later the first snowmads started cruising over, surprised to see Spiro had built not one, but three different hits. We started by sessioning the hip, with Spiro and Plytta basically owning the spot with some sexy spins and a couple of inverts.
Snowboard Greece – Kalavrita – Cheese and Chocolate
Helmos is the tallest mountain in the Peloponnese, and home to a ski resort with about 8 lifts. It’s also home to some of the fluffiest powder in the Southern Mediterranean, not to mention some pretty decent raki stands for the apres…
February was a pretty good month here. We got to explore the backcountry with some of the locals, build jumps, hit some street spots and sip hot cacao by the fireplace… NOT.
Alexis De Tarade and a bunch of Frenchies decided to come to Greece for their newest filming project, so we joined forces and got some riding done with Badio catching some decent hangtime over the jumps and street spots.
