Easy Come, Easy Go

Well, I say easy come, which it was in a way, as I just sat there and let it grow. However, approximately one year and a bit since my last hair cut, I have finally had a trim. All in the name of fitting in with the corporate image. I am slightly shell-shocked, but on the other hand, I'm actually quite glad to have short hair again. I reckon with a bit of time I can get used to it again!

At some point I'm sure I'll get a photo to illustrate my new image. Of course, having such short hair means that my bushy beard now has to be totally rethought. I'm not quite sure what I'll be going for. Perhaps variations on the goatee / handlebar / truckers tache taht I was sporting before leaving the UK.

Also happened to have the most extreme days boarding I've had since being out here. If you all get your piste maps out, you can see the harmony express and the Peak chair at the top of the Whistler mountain. From these chairs you can traverse down numerous ridges before entering lovely soft fluffy snow filled bowls. Firstly off the Harmony Ridge (Hope you've still got your piste maps out!) there's a whole bunch of drops down some pretty steep runs (complete with small drop in at the top!) in between low roll and camel back runs. Then off the Peak chair you can see a bunch of double black diamonds heading off the ridge into the west bowl. All into nice soft fluffy snow! They were quite steep and certainly had my heart beating pretty fast, but it's just such a rush! Just leaning right back into a deep heelside carve. Leaning right back over the tale and getting catapulted out of a turn. Seeing a little rock, and dropping off it! I'm telling you, snowboarding absolutely rocks!
