Hey hey! Well it's been a pretty awesome couple of days, I've been able to get up the mountain both yesterday and today. Whilst it's only been snowing lightly down here in the village, it's been snowing hard up top, as it was all yesterday. Lots of fresh powder to be had, with a bunch of off-piste little runs here and there. As for the progression I'm slowly getting there, today was definitely alot more comfortable, though keeping a decent speed to surf over the powder is a bit tough. Definite highlight for day 1 was getting off a lift without falling over, and highlight for day 2 was linking toe-side and heel-side turns. Some wild feelings plowing through waist-deep powder slowing sinking, then sitting back on the board and feeling the nose lift me up and out of the powder! So mad!!Currently just chilling back in the apartment after dinner, feeling pretty sore from the day's boarding, and got all my gear in the laundry now washing it up for tomorrow! I start work proceedings on Wednesday so I think enjoying every day until then in the snow sounds like a good plan! Until next time!
No more falling leaf? =D

ReplyDeletenicko: how different is ur current board (with all the sexy curves on it) to the previous one (jims old board)?
yo yo, well, from my limited experience it feels so much crazier. holds the edge real nice, and the more funner side of it is it's super poppy, you can pretty much get good air off a little ridge on the run. im sure the board is definitely better, but the fact i'm spending heaps more time on it as well has to help
