Day four and five, it's starting to hurt...
KD - Last night had a meal with a load of people in the chalet next door... most decent meal we've had so far (I didnt feel for the snails). We watched Borat, drank some beer, talked and eventually crashed out at four in the morning. Day Four started off good, I hit some high altitude slopes (happy to be off the baby ones and on to the serious stuff, 2000m+). The fluffy snow was great and I found the chair lifts were much better than button lifts.
Did my first run with Big Time (michael B) which was really fun, again we got stuck in the deep powder snow which is absolutely a nightmare to get out of. Met up with John and MJ, did another run and we made our way up to the top. Reached the top only to find my binding had snapped off, this really pissed me off. My day was cut short as I couldnt continue boarding until it was mended, so I made my way back to the town to get my board sorted out and the shop was closed in the middle of the afternoon because the french had gone for a bloody nap, so i made my way back to our apartment had a nice hot bath and headed off in to the town for some retail therapy. I bought some shoes - it made me feel better but not as good as the boarding would have made me feel.
MB - My day went good, me and K went to Les Praz to meet MJ and JB to go on the big slopes. Happy days. We went down on the green and blue slopes today it was good we got on the chair lifts for the 1st time this week. My technique has got better I'm so happy that i have got it now jeeezzzz!
MJ - Wednesday I went to Le Tour with MB and KK and started with a the red run, I didnt fall for the first 3 red runs which was an achivement for myself. I then took them on the blue run and they got stuck in the deep powder, That was funny. I laughed so hard I twisted my knee - I felt the ligaments strain, so I got down and buried my knee in the snow and sat there for 20 minutes while they dug their way out of the deep snow, It does take that long when it's deep.
Thursday I went with JB and the lads to Les Praz to hit the big boy slopes. I finally hit a black run and it was ******* awsome, the buzz was undescribable. I felt like I was on top of the world. It was the first time I had ever been above the clouds and descended through them. I 180'd a few times and also did my first grab off a little kicker, got some nice air from a few jumps ran a bunch of black and red runs, tree runs, off piste runs, stacked it a lot and busted the bindings on my board so I am very pleased
