stab, just staggered in here by mistake (did get my provisional Boarding Licence in Morzine a couple of years back), but I am surprised to see you still posting.
That video you put up yesterday - the one where you slid into the telegraph pole - how are you?
Presumably posting from your hospital bed with arm and both legs up in plaster - real bummer trying to run a keyboard and mouse with only one hand, I know.
And so brave - you've not mentioned any of this. Respect!

Last season's goals:
- Learn the basics
- Link turns down red runs
- Stomp a straight air
Last season's achievements:
- Made it (not with any style) down red runs on my first day on a board... had a friend teaching me though so wasn't held back by a class. Definitely learned the basics and am now hooked on snowboarding.
- Managed to link turns down [the easier half of] a black run with a modicum of style and no bailing on the last day of my first week. Was quite icy and it hadn't snowed in 10 days so I'm quite pleased with this achievement.
- Air was my only real disappointment after exceeding my own (and my friend's) expectations for just chucking myself down the slopes. I managed to hop off ledges 3-4 feet high and land it at some pace, but my attempts at the tabletops inevitably resulted in an unfortunate explosion of slush as I impressed the ladies with my faceplant skills
This season's goals:
- Stomp straight air (consistently) big enough and with enough panache that onlookers don't feel the need to point and laugh
- Proper carving with weight distribution and everything
- Link turns down red runs... switch! Not the sort-of switch I managed last season where I 180-hop as soon as I feel unstable, but confident, powder-churning switch which lets me land my next goal...
- BS 180 & FS 180
- 50-50 easy rails
- Some sort of weird butters turn that my friend Jules can do just standing on the tail of his board. Don't know what it's called, but will post picture/video of this after we've been out to the mountains in January
As for countdown, my facebook status tends to consist of the number of days til I leave (that's almost 3 months of updates which mean nothing to anyone but me and the 3 people I'm going with). I also drew out a calendar by hand on my desk in multi-coloured biro, not because I'm usually that organised but because I'm desperate to get onto the snow! 52 days to go.

Woop woop! Went to Milton Keynes freestyle night on Friday... landed my first:
- box (well, trestle table)
- 12ft rail
- 4ft up-rail
- 4ft (at the lip) kicker jump
The rainbow rail kicked my ärse a bit and I did discover that doing boxes too slowly is a baaad idea...
...but result! 3 hours at the snowdome, first time on snow since March and I already achieved some of my season goals. I'm just gonna have to push myself harder.

Very true Debbi... 40 days today I'll be in Val Thorens, and we're currently plotting a trip to BC/Alberta for March (I will be so broke once I'm done!)
