A bit like skiing (in that you need snow), but you only have one plank to ride!
As every year the Nero Snow Trip took place again and we (Mina & Rebecca) spend a fantastic weekend in the Austrian Swiss Alps...
For the second year Running the pistes in the Chilterns are looking good. Found a new run off the back of Whitleaf Hill this morning and got some turns in before work...
Another day on Cairngorm and the pistes remain in good condition, this time with some friends....
Perfect conditions in Scotland day 1...
Our friends Dean (above) and Marie live in Zell am See, where Dean just started work this season as a skiing/snowboard instructor. Dean took a busman's holiday and came snowboarding and skiing with us for the week...
You may have noticed its been snowing, so just back from the Alps thought I'd try out the runs in Risborough over lunch...
Ok this was the weekend before last but its the first chance I got to write anything up. Trev, Jax & I noticed the piste conditions in Scotland were the best in years...
After yesterday's efforts our leg muscles were knackered. Well Laetitia's and mine were. Actually if the truth be told, mostly just mine! And as Dave reported almost no aches and pains, it seems that it's true that skiing makes higher demands on the thigh muscles than snowboarding? Anyway, all of this led us to turn to the idea of enjoying some piste skiing to save ourselves from more punishment...
We decided to take Dave on the amazing Crochues-Bérard traverse tour to discover Snowboard mountaineering! The climb up to the Crochues col followed by the traverse across to and climb up to the Bérard col were easy. But the descent was another story...
