All or Nothing

Firstly, check out the Xgames tribute to Sarah Burke, very well done! A fitting tribute! http://www.freestyletv.net/xgames/x-games-sarah-burke-tribute/

annoyingly I didnt get up again today, paryl due to it being a total whiteout, not actually seen clouds so low in Morzine yet this season and mostly because I didnt finish work till early afternoon and had to start work again 2 hours later. how shit was that?! whats worse is tomorrow is change over day so I probably still wont see the slopes...that said im getting up early and getting on it just so I can at least try to get out tomorrow. Im going to go insane otherwise!

But this is how low the clouds were in the Zine.

 

Aside from that annoyance my helmet is fixed, well kind of. The chin strap clip is broken as it falls out all the time unless its done up! so just gotta remember that when I take it off, blatantly need a new one but at least I got one till I can afford another. Better still though, I have some shiny new goggles and am going to pick up some wrist gaurds tomorrow, I have a feeling im gonna need them. As im done with cruising around theres a park with my name on it and im gonna go live in it and not leave until I have something worth shouting about. Could be a while there :P Time to get bloody damn good. Its what I came here for.

Anyhow check out my amazing new goggles and the funky box they come in!

 

And finally, just cos, heres Morzine at night.

Is it a bird, is it a plane...

The snow did not come yesterday...well tell a lie it did for about 6 minutes. However, it has come today!! which also meant it was the complete and utter whiteout thus no snowboarding today, all we did was sit and look out the window (had fuck all else to do) anticipating the glory that will be all the fresh pow pow tomorrow. Sooo I shall instead inform you of what we got up to last night...the christmas tree has finally been removed. About time, it had past it plus vacuuming the pine needles everyday was more effort than it was worth.

So the pineless bastard met its end out of the window. As we were sure as hell not gonna carry it through the chalet and clean up afterwards. Handily there is a masive sliding window up stairs so a good hefty swing sent it flying out the window to the balcolny below :D

 

The very window it met its end.

and its final resting place, interestingly it landed very neatly, certainly wasnt a consideration but hey ho least its out of the way for the remainder of the season :D

finally this is  tribute video to Sarah Burke someone has made, definitely worth checking out to show your respects http://vimeo.com/35364829

Ski in Peace.

RIP Sarah Burke

Normally I would post about what ive been up to etc but todays an exception. This post is dedicated to Sarah Burke who has sadly died today as a result of injuries suffered from a crash in the superpipe a few days ago.Full details are here http://www.powdermag.com/stories/sarah-burke-dies-from-injuries/

She was a pioneer of womens Skiing, very talented and always trying to push boundaries. Ie being the first woman to land a 1080 in competition. Its a great lost to the snowsports world. My thoughts are with her family.

RIP Sarah Burke, you shall be missed.
