Not much to report on today...
No rush to get up the mountain early as we knew it was going to be sunny with no new snow.
We spent the first few hours of the morning having breakfast and trying to find where our locker room was for our snowboards. This block of apartments is huge and it is hard to find things.
Once we sorted it out it was up on the gondola to the base of the mountain.
Beautiful sunny day, warm, except for a howling wind... snow was in pretty good condition but there were some wind affected sections which were pretty icy.
Neri was riding her new snowboard, once again supplied by Tim at Heresy Snowboards.
She seemed to be enjoying it... a lot stiffer and shorter than her other board but Neri says she had a lot of fun riding it.
One thing we can't believe is how quiet the village is here. Maybe because it is mid-week but there are not many people around. There are quite a few people on the mountain though.
We had a quick look at the terrain parks (there are 7 of them here) and although they looked amazing, nobody was hitting them... i'm guessing because of how hard packed the snow is at the moment.
Stayed out until 4pm cruising through the trees on some easy groomers, just mucking around and having a good time in the sun.
Neri was riding switch on the final run to the gondola and managed to fall flat on her butt which looked painful, but after a quick dip in the hot tub this afternoon she has recovered.
About to head out to dinner soon in the village.

That board really does look sick. I am glad you made me use real artists. That board will soften a tiny bit as the sidewalls learn and the glass releases a tiny tiny bit. But, with the sidewalls, as they're not ABS, they'll help the board retain snap and memory for way longer. It won't noodle out like an ABS walled board. Looks like a rad park board. Should be a tiny bit softer in the nose for nose jibs too...
Stoked, riding looks fun - send me any photos of that board for the store.
rad, tim.
