Karen Willmer goes on a whirlwind weekend trip to Courmayeur to try out the new Ford C-Max and get in some shredding. Be sure to watch her video on the trip at the bottom of the page!

Drive-throughs are always the best. They’re a satisfying quick-fix, just when you need it. But we stepped it up a notch for our drive through. Forget fast food, coffees or car wash; try a drive-through snowboard in Courmayeur. In fact, make that a double.

If you’re headed to Mountain High this season, don’t be surprised if you bump into pro snowboarder Corey Cronk and he’s sporting a Powderoom.net sticker.  His pants may be three times his size (you either dig it or you don’t) but Cronk definitely recognizes style when he sees it - and our stickers are no exception.

It was a beautiful afternoon on the hill and the snow was like a delicious 7-Eleven slurpy.  You can’t go wrong mid-week at Mountain High and even if shredding wasn’t your thing (which it had better be), you could hang out all afternoon in the sunshine in the parking lot and still be cool.  People set up shop outside their cars - as in beach chairs and loud, are-you-ready-to-shred tunes that blast from their speakers.
