Another season riding on the westcoast over here for me. Went riding on opening day (thurs) at heavenly, which was the first day of a traditional 4 day holiday. My pass is blacked out till Sunday. Was gonna hike for some turns today but my legs are still super sore after a 30,000ft first day.

I've got a job I've commited to now, boring, but I have a couple of weeks off in February to get out to Meribel and a couple of other places. I was very tempted to quit and go do another season, maybe next year.

Honda Kitty, helllooo there Nothing booked as of yet. I've thought about Whistler a couple of times but the costs kept on adding up which I couldn't really justify for a week away. I'm now waiting until the last minute (to see what the Snow Gods decide to do in Europe) and will be hopefully heading out on the 16th of December. Should be a good one - birthday, Chrimbo and post-PhD submission treat. Will be away again in January (assuming the viva goes OK) for PhD celebration proper and again in March/early April...Should be a good season!

Sandy77uk, why not make that a cheeky week at the end of April and join up with about 100 other snowHeads in Val Thorens? Follow this link for the EoSB

Swirly, well looking forward to it
Might even try to squeeze another trip in before the end of the season if i like it that much... I'm sure I will! is the EoSB open to anyone or just those who've perfected the act of balancing?

Honda Kitty, I've just seen a very bad taste religious fancy dress outfit picture. A little adult in theme though Let me know if you want it mailed.
On hte trip front, there are 15 of us heading to Les Arcs for the first week in Feb, should have another trip there with a few friends in early April, the good old EOSB of course, and maybe a little ice trip to La Grave in March if I can get enough people interested.

Scarpa, Thanks petal, but that's not the Jedi I am looking for.....
Does anyone go to 'Snowbombing'? what's it like?
I have a mate DJ'ing out there again this year, but I fear it might be a bit 11-teen for me....

Absolutely everyone. I had a mere week's experience when I went last year. I learnt a lot. More quality instruction will be available this year. I have personal experience of Euan's tutelage, know several people who will vouch for easiski (I am considering a holiday in her backyard to try it myself), and ssh also comes highly recommended (and a long way!)

Ahhhh! Might have to convince the misssus to go on the old bread and water diet to save some cash (of course I'll be drinking the finest wines and easting oysters at every meal!!) so we can maybe join in the fun!
I'll se how my first week goes in La Plagne though but I reckon I might be convinced.
Planning oin going to Snowbombing too - I think that's a week or two before the EoSB! looks like the gas bill/council tax bill may be getting delayed!!!

Honda Kitty, will do.
A mate who's been to a couple of Snowbombing events says it's great fun but it's really tiring, if you're a full-on party animal that is!
