Wednesday 17th

Went up the mountain with Pete this morning, well I say morning, the mornings don't really exist at the moment here. When all the good snow arrives (hopefully on my birthday) we will all be getting up a descent time.

I decided to warm my legs up on a quick run down to linderes. Snow was great at the top, shocking at the bottom. This made me give in and hit the board park. Not hitting rails at the moment due to a) being crap, b) it being early in the season and c) I had just waxed my board into a lightning fast snow destroyer which I would knacker on rails. I hit the green kickers a bit, not very well, but the landing was wank. Whilst Neil and Pete were happy nailing fs boardslides and lipslides on the rails, I chose to try the larger blue kickers. These were the biggest in the "baby" park. Hit the first nice and straight, kicked up and indy grabbed it. Landed nicely on the down landing and hit the second. All good. The best of the day as on subsequent hits I was winding windows. Landed on my arse a bit but nothing serious.

Decided to do another run and went down the prolays. Busy but good ish snow. Nailed it straight through the crowds and managed to keep a tail press going for about 50 metres or so and over small moguls. This run has loads of little kickers dotted around and natural jibs. Pulled a fs boardslide along a tree stump which was pleasing. The beginning I reckon. Chuffed I thought it best to head home. Nothing was done apart from waxing Petes board and a little fire juggling. I think I will be doing a lot, need to also contact Juggle a lot as well. Its the right place to get good. Especially when the weather is shit.
