Trysil
















yes yes yes i know..more boarding pictures with slopes that all look the same...anyway, theres been a load of snow in the mountains in norway. so the powder was really deep = mucho fun. amazing views from the top of Trysil, especially on such a clear day. the large mountain at the back above the tree line was a bit hairy, its nearly vertical, and has deep snow, so is really fun, but knackering, and the wind was immense up there. temperatures are much colder here than in Japan, the top was about -8.
one thing that did strike me though that it will be hard not to live in a country where you can just bugger off to the mountains to snowboard every weekend in the winter....im becoming spoilt

Went snow boarding last weekend for the first time since you left. We went to Tianai and the conditions were really good. I managed to successfully link turns on the less steep slopes but had a big big acrobatic crash when I got a bit confident on the steep bit. that'll learn me!

nah mate...as my mate Steve keeps telling me every time i bottle out of a jump...'fear and laziness prevents progress'....keep trying and keep crashing...you'll eventually crash less and less

i actually bought a helmet this year to give me a bit more confidence...hmmmm...might take it back
