La Grave, a single lift resort on the backside of Les Deux Alpes, isn't just scary because of its name. Nope, it's scary because it has zero patrols, no marked trails, a large number of crevacces and the kind of exposure that requires fresh underwear. That's why the legendary Tailgate festival will be there in February and why Pally'Hi will be supporting the guides.

News in from France is that Pally'Hi ambassador McRae Williams has just taken the top spot at the finals of the SFR tour in VARS La Floret Blanche.
