ten and eleven

Ok so I skipped yesterday, I was knackered and ill.

That and I was out for dinner with steve's Mrs and all her coven (look it up). There was a fondue which, thinking of my waist line, I wisely avoided (I'm only joking about the coven thing). I like cheese on toast as much as the next man, but a fondue is taking things to extremes. Apparently if you drink too much water with your fondue, the cheese solidifies in your gut meaning you have to pass an Edam cheese next time you visit the bog. Nice

Talking of dumps (see what I did there?)

......more snow today! Unfortunatly it's pretty heavy stuff so the pistes are getting good but the off piste is a bit like wading through mud.

On the plus side it is bringing the base back up to scratch and ice is becoming the exception rather than the rule. Horray!

My new boots got thier first run today. All I can say is "snug". Not as slipper comfy as my old ones but a shed load more responsive. I rode them all morning and the only problem was some pressure on my toenails, so off to cut them tonight (you get all the good stuff here).

Next on the hit list are bindings. Will probably stick with my current board as
a) I'm tight
b) I'm tight
c) I'm tight
d) my stick rocks anyway

The base has taken some heavy damage, no core shots yet but some pretty meaty gouges.

The resort is starting to fill up now as we get towards hi season. There was an Ice sculpture dude and some weird siamese twin ompah band thing going on in town and I cam across this little shop



Imagine my disappointment when i found they only sold T shirts :-(

And here's a piccy of a mountain to round things off



Nice!

Anyway tmrw is my last day of general training before I start on the teaching side of things. So I guess my days will be a little less intense from a riding point of view but more theory and stuff.
