Back on the Slopes Again

After what seemed the longest weekend ever, I was back on the slopes again. Despite this long weekend it wasn't possible to get Rich up the hill - think there's been a bit of bug that's been going round.

Anyway, this meant my first bit of solo boarding since I've been out here. And I must admit that I think it did me some good! Managed to learn some new tricks. Not particularly convincingly, but it's on the way!Had a few pretty hard slams today, but thanks to the wonders of modern helmets I think I'm still doing alright.

Still, it's so refreshing to be able to get up the hill. Apart from anything else, the low cloud is still down over the valley, but once you get through the cloud (roundabouts the bottom of the solar coaster for those in the know), it's amazing how it opens up. THere's still cloud over the mountain tops, but in the middle you can see everything.

Anyway, more poker and pizza tonight, then I'm bursting to get up again tomorrow.
