a day of rest

Well, Sunday was our day off so I took full advantage and slept in. In truth I was actually sleeping off the night before. Ther was a bit of a pub crawl going on so my head was a little "fuzzy" (ahem).

Once I finaly dragged my carcass out of bed I decided to go and check out new boots to replace my aging (but slipper comfy) flows. Tried on about 6 pairs from some nice Vans BFBs (apparently Best Flipping Boot or similar) to a lovely pair of Burton Ions (or as I like to call them Ion$).

Unfortunatly the best were the Burtons weighing in at a heafty 330E - trust my bloody feet to have epensive taste!

As always I'm going to sleep on it, and probably try a few more pairs. Also looking to complete the separation from flows with a set of bindings, probably cap straps, so I'll be looking to take your set for a test drive Mr P.

There is still no sign of snow so the runs are starting to get really dicey. A group of us took a ride down the Solaise yeaterday and it was pretty tough, even the skiers were falling over and getting there one-pieces dirty, only kidding none of the skiers are sad enough to wear one pieces.

We were offered a chance to take part in a torch lit decent of "La Face" on tuesday. Hummmmmm an acknowledged difficult black run, covered in ice, in the pitch black, whilst holding an incendiary device, surrounded by other idiots.........better check my insurance to see if I'm covered for acts of supreme idiocy.

Well I'm off to watch some american football then an early night so I can be ready to tear it up tmrw.
