POWDAY
(TrackBack)Best day ever, ok let me backtrack to yesterday evening which ended up being an awesome Christmas, from the weirdness of sitting in a bar eating wings earlier on things moved slightly more traditional with Adams spectacular effort at dinner and Gwens triumph at dishing up a huge dessert helping, effectively we ate a lot and drank a lot then all fell asleep so I guess it worked out as most Christmasses do.
I was fully intending to sleep today until I was woken at 9 and kind of made myself get up, out of the house and tentatively onto the mountain and oh god was it worth it. 7th Heaven hadn't been open for 4 days due to 100km/h winds although it'd been snowing all the time so today there was easily 2 foot of powder and I must admit that it's an amazing feeling to board on it, like all floaty and surflike. I was on my own which was a shame but hammered it and I now feel like my whole body is about to collapse on itself. I am going to ignore the fact that below the restaurant it was raining and I got soaking wet on the way back down the mountain.
It's still snowing up there so Gwen and I are aiming for a 9am start tomorrow. I'm kind of tempted to board it again...
