No More Boarding

Had a great day snow-boarding on Saturday. Sunny day, decent cover all over and very few people, so there were no queues on most of the lifts. Had a spectacular wipeout early in the morning at the bottom of the Interceptor which stunned me a bit, but only briefly. Just as well I bought a helmet this season. It’s the third time I’ve banged my head since I got it. All the skiers are getting them now. Tom got his a few weeks ago, Neil showed up with a blue version of mine, and Gus, Kev and John are planning on buying ones next year.

Saturday night was spent in with a few beers and everyone cooking a big feed. Sunday morning was like a hospital, with everyone acting like walking wounded. I think there was so much boarding/skiing done on Saturday that everyone was sore. Got up to the slopes after 10, to find that all the crucial lifts were on wind hold, so turned around and went home. A bit of a disappointing end to the season, but Saturday was a great finish, even if we didn’t realise it at the time.

I also forgot to put on sun block, so I’ve a beautiful goggle mark on my face. I took a photo but forgot the cable to upload it, so I’ll do it tomorrow. At least I now look like a pro!
