Awesome day #54
(TrackBack)I am beginning to run out of room for memories on this trip, today was another incredible day. It puked about a foot of snow overnight and the storm looks to stay over the early part of the week, made only better by the sheer lack of people here - seriously the village is dead. Phil, Gwen and I tracked out most of what they were able to open (due to 60km/h winds) and almost like the beginning of the season I am absolutely wasted, my whole body aches. I figure in the 4 weeks off I had I lost most of my stamina.
Who'd have thought I'd be getting up at 7am, exerting myself physically to the point of breaking and still not be moaning. Certainly not anyone that knows me.
Yesterday was much the same, the snow started around 11am when we headed up the hill (timed to perfection) to find a good couple of inches in places. With my knee feeling a whole load better I took on the challenge of a jump down the side of a piste and promptly landed on a) my face b) my bad knee. The laughing from Mark and Phil soon stopped when I hadn't moved for a few minutes. Luckily my helmet took a lot of the impact and I only saw black and fuzzy colours for a few minutes. Aces.
Erica is rather bizarrely in town, and we caught up for drinks yesterday evening, I struggled to maintain conversation in my half comatosed state (due to the fall and tiredness) but it was nice to see her.
Little else to report, we've barely been out since Ads left, just a few quiet nights watching the hockey but I have been busy maintaining relations with Robyn which is better than any night out.
The big TWO-FIVE is looming a week on Saturday, there's something to be said for settling down at that sort of age but hell when you're having this much fun it's easily forgotten.
