Somebody I used to Know

 Firstly check out GOTYE - SOMEBODY I USED TO KNOW on youtube, its an awesome song.

the internet still sucks. Think its a certain person downloading 20+ bloody films...greedy sod!

anyhow didint get up today, BOOOOO as I had a ton of changeovers to do which took forever. But as im on brekkie I should, with some luck if the guests play nice, be able to get out early. So I can nail that trick, learn some other tricks and end the day at the tremplin DnB night! its a plan that shall succeed!

I do have a pic for you! its abit crappy as its a pic of the full moon and street light. What I was trying to catch was the fact its a clear sky and a full moon yet its snowing! thats just how cold it is in Morzine right now, the moisture in the air this low has turned to snow. crazy stuff.

Did warn you it sucked, was taken on my phone, but hey ho its what happens when you spend the day cleaning rooms.

The net is sucking tonigh so this will be the shortest post ever in hopes itll finally upload.

its still very cold.

Still havent stomped that trick, though incredibly close!

wish it would snow again as its been tracked all weekend and is now becoming icy.

the wind is back, did I say it was cold?? brrrr

Its only gotten colder!

oh and ive probably bruised my lower back, stupid box. but anyway -25!! the door hands were frozen on the inside! crazy cold. Did it deter me going up?? Obviously not as i stacked it and landed on my back/hip, hurts like a bitch now :( nonetheless ive removed the burs from my board and Ill be owning that box tomorrow! 

Oh hell nearly got the tail block down now, getting sooo close! tomorrow is the day I can feel it. Im spending tomorrow in the park, its going to be my new home!

Anyway, as it was -25 wrapping up to the extreme was in order, it helped but it was still damn cold on a chair lift with the wind blowing.

 The face mask genuinely began freezing due to my breath and cold air so it froze to the shape of my face haha. But as you can see im rocking the new goggles and helmet! still slightly pissed as the first time I used them the lense got scratched by a clumsy ass skier. Seriously youre making it hard for me to like you... watch where your swinging your planks. jeez.

Although its not snowed in a couple of days still plenty about, these buildings are not far of from vanishing haha

And just because I took them...

 

 

Still freaking cold!

People in england can moan about -6 but try -15/ - 23 then talk to me about being cold haha and thats with the sun out with clear skies! Sadly I didnt get out today as its just too cold to ride, either get stuck on ice or your eyes feel like they freezing over. But didnt mean I didnt do anything.

Instead I spent the day learning how to tail block, after getting over the initial worry of breaking my board (remembered I have a two year warranty, win!) I decided to get on with it. Almost can do it but not yet! anyhow this is what I am attempting. Determined to have it down by tomorrow.

OH btw got a shout out on the Billabong Air and Style, right chuffed with that :D

anyway I cant cop out and use a google image so heres one I took earlier (whey blue peter jokes)

A thousand needles of pain

thats how bloody cold it was and thats what it felt like, a thousand needles being shoved into your face.

So yes, fucking cold. that is all.

-19

its currently -19 degrees and my god its fooking freezing, but its gonna get colder. ah well ill soon aclimatise and when it warms up again itll be like being in the tropics haha.

anyway I gotta be up in 5 hours for breakfast. fun fun so in a nutshell:

Its still snowing bits here and there so plenty of pow about

Room cleaning all day so I didnt get to ride today. Booo

bought a new helmet (finally) and have a ton of stickers to decorate it with.

Took me hours to remember that song! (title) dont you hate it when you knoe the tune but neither the band or lyrics. Makes googling utterly pointles. Anyway, the snow is still amazing, its still all powder despite it being tracked to mogul hell but still great fun! 

Right! my birthday, erm what to say...I was given/bought copious amounts of shots off guests and bar staff and my boss. Thus the night did swiftly become a blur but I do remember the cavern bar being full of men. (manzine liviving up to its name there) genuinely didnt see a single girl in there, so I quickly left haha. Sausage fest much?!

Shame my birthday fell on a monday though as everywhere shuts damn early :( but I did get a 3 layered birthday cake!

Didnt get much riding time in on monday but made up for it on tuesday second bus of the day till last lift (therefore today I am shattered but went up nonetheless, ill sleep in summer haha) benefit of riding on tuesday is that monday dumped a load of snow thus as I said its powder heaven atm! Which means, as I dont really stick to the piste in these conditions everywhere was becoming my playground, mostly the snowbanks beside the piste.

that guy is on the actual piste but if you look at the snow behind him youll see a couple of lines on the snow bank. Now originally there was only one but I never stopped and took a picture after I first did it and because I started it others followed. However! this very top line is mine! the parallel one that suddenly goes vertical haha. Great fun that snow bank, steep to get up but once youre up theres a fun little kicker to hit at the bottom if you flatline down back onto the piste. looks pretty sick if your flying through all the pow pow :D

Prior to hitting that bank though ive now started just hitting the line from the lifts down onto the run, ill try and get a decent pic of that so you know what I mean, but basically its lots of snow, damn steep, full of moguls and damn good fun. Thanks to that and the tons of snow tht dumped it down I was literally going over some trees and through many, as the pic below shows. You can see some people on the piste and how high up I am on this "run". Its pretty weird riding through the tops of trees!

Ooh saw this person today, the actual definition of the highlighter jacket. You can spot her for miles!

Anyhow im off out as I just got paid and well not alot else to do on a night off other than embrace it :P so Enjoy thhese pics of the snow.

 

 

With that last picture there are alot of trees like that so ive had a few snow showers when flying under them and the snow dropping unexpectedly haha.
