More Weather

So a couple of days ago it was near -20 degrees and the next day it was 0 degrees... What's up with that! Today it's been raining on the bottom of the hill and in the village, but at the top it's been snowing all day :) the FIS world snowboard championships are in town at the moment (although I'm yet to go and see any events) so I bet they're well impressed with it raining on their race track and half pipe >:)

I took a different board up for a couple of hours today because when we got to the top there were a bunch of demo tents around, so I took up this 156cm Jeenyus wood series freestyle board (which was perhaps not the cleverest idea seeing as the snow was choppy as hell and very heavy) for a mess around. First thing today it was pretty miserable because we were sat on the chairlift, in the rain, and it was verrry wet. After an early lunch though we went a bit higher and had some reeeally fun runs. It was much easier after I got my normal board back because it's built to DESTROY the chop :p in fact my friend Mark described it the other day as, "a battleship" - hehe. Hopefully it'll continue snowing all week (latest forecast says that's likely) cuz I've got the next 3 days off as well!

Good for riding, bad for bank balance...
