Champoluc belongs to the equipment side of my skiing journey. The industry Snow Test brought together skis, people and the Italian mountain setting. In my documentary, the trip also connects to the relationship with Scott Dobson.

Number eight

I put Champoluc at number eight in my Top Ten. The narration explains the appeal of being able to try equipment on snow and spend time with the people behind it. The photographs here are stills from those original testing clips.

This is a personal trip note about a testing visit, rather than a claim to have reviewed every part of the surrounding ski area. The Stöckli library on CarveCast contains the individual ski reviews; the film and podcast tell the broader story of how the testing developed.
