Well, I have done a few runs the pipe now and must admit, watching people I thought I could get some air time out of the top, but when I tried myself I was too much of a chicken! I decided to add it to my list of things to do whilst over here, and… Read more »
Well, I managed to get Ems to do the lesson in the pipe…almost had to drag her kicking and screaming…but it worked! She progressed from being scared of entering the pipe, all the way to getting onto the walls and getting some speed up! Now she is at the same level as me as I… Read more »
Went out for a few runs today, only to find that almost everywhere was slush. Normally good fun but after a heavy slam on wednesday my body is suffering. I came over the red kicker hoping to do a grab, but I ended up rotating 90 degrees backside instantly catching my heels on the transition.… Read more »
My friend Joycey has decided to step up his game, and he thought the best way to do that was to challenge me to a wee competition within the realms of snowboard freestyle! I have posted my first video to Youtube and I am now awaiting his response, to try and beat it or at… Read more »
With the wee Wifey feeling a little under the weather today I headed out by myself to go meet up with Mel. I have found that I am a lot less forgiving when I am by myself, making comments to ignorant skiers on rental skis chipping away at my edges. When I am with someone… Read more »
Not the wednesday just gone but the one before we decided to take a road trip to Switzerland to see one of Mel’s friends band play in Lausanne, they are called Doll and the Kicks. Not really knowing what to expect we went to the gig, saw the opening act and I must admit I… Read more »

Frozen lake montriond where they do all the water sports in summer, a beatiful sight even if you have to walk in a constant stream of puddles…
Well, after being here for 107 days, and only 44 days to go, we all decided it was time to step it up a gear. Ems, Carol and Mel are hitting the blue kickers, barrel jump, boxes and also starting to get grabs. Dom, Stu and me have started hitting the reds on a frequent… Read more »
Ems had some porridge today and decided that it was a good day to go big, along with the rest of the jackrabbitt morzine crew. Here are a few snaps from the day, write ups to come soon!
The snow we should have had back in January is finally here! Ems has been off for a couple of days due to some bruised ribs because of a fight with a mogul, but she is all good now (Well…getting better but she doesn’t want to miss the currently heavy dumping snow!). Not much updating… Read more »

Woke up this morning to a lovely fresh layer of white stuff, with loads more falling! We totally weren’t expecting it so I felt like my birthday present had come early, thanks to everyone who did the snow dance for us. We got breakfast done, had a quick dip in the hot tub as I… Read more »

After what seems like an age, the snow has finally arrived, even if it only snows today it will be enough to save us from our icy dooms! Day off tomorrow and some epic adventures to be had…BRING IT ON! Me and dave getting confused as to why the white stuff is falling….
Hopefully that is the last we will see of the sun for a while and HOPEFULLY it will absolutely dump it down over the next week, we need it for sure. As much fun as the current riding conditions are we need a top up. We headed up with our new found seasonnaire friends from… Read more »
