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 »

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 »
As you can probably tell by the following photo…I fell…landing on my left butt cheek with force…and now it hurts to sit down…yet I will still go back and do it again no doubt…probably to the right butt cheek.Not having spent as much time in the park as I would like, I still feel a… Read more »
Mountain Mavericks, Sugar Mountain and Skiology Due to working, sleeping and snowboarding, we haven’t really had chance to meet loads of seasonnaires, let alone get organised enough to ride with anyone new. So today we headed out with some of the Skiology Chalets crew ( Clodagh, Jamie and Mitch) and then some of the Sugar… Read more »
I showed them a trick…got it wrong and fell…so they all mocked me by doing the same…like lemmings! Extremely expensive restaurante with stunning views behind me! Late start due to 430am bedtime, but on the slopes for 12ish and once again it was a beautiful day! We havn’t had snow since the 10th of January,… Read more »
Me and the wife decided to go a bit further afield than usual, this took us over towards Croset and the horrible drag lift that Ems hated so much (fell off it twice and made her have a bad day). Everyone had told us not to bother going over to the Swiss side as there… Read more »

My new favourite place on the mountain… you guessed it, under the Les Combes lift!

68 days from leaving the UK and we have just ridden our 40th day on the mountain, shortly heading out for day 41. The target is to get 100 days on the slopes by the end of the season, and we fully intend to achieve this! As we venture round Morzine, chatting to shop owners and… Read more »

Well, today was not my first run through the pipe, due to a half hearted effort the other day, but it still felt like my first time! It is rock solid, icey and just incredibly intimidating…you stand at the top looking down, watching the people in front get out the pipe and pull some kind… Read more »
Well, after an awesome (exhausting) week we waved goodbye to the JR lot that were up in Avoriaz. It was great to see some friendly faces and even better to get out on the mountain with them, everyone progressed a lot over the week they were here. The Jackrabbitt crew seem to encourage an atmosphere… Read more »
Well, that’s the day off over with…we made it to the chair before it opened, even if we didn’t get on it once it did open due to waiting around for the JR crew to hit the freshly pisted home run and escort us back up the hill. We had a good cruisey day today,… Read more »
The stash is a completely eco friendly park, all the rails etc are made of wood are randomly hidden throughout the tree runs. Today along with some of the JR crew, we went for a ride through, pushing and pressuring people to try new things, and that is just what we all did. We hit… Read more »
