Today was a very late start day, last night nearly everyone went out drinking and got hammered so nobody was in the mood for an early start. I met up with Crispy, Bluntly, Scott, Stubby and Jane at about 1100 for a few gentle runs. The weather has started to turn from this morning so we have been robbed of our great views, visibility is good but poor light means it is impossible to see any bumps ahead - everything is just white.
We also took the opportunity to book snowmobiling for Friday night, a few of us will be renting them for an hour and being taken on a tour. I can't possiblly see how 1000cc half tank half ski contraptions capable of 50mph+ with some of the least mature people imaginable piloting them could possiblly be a bad idea...
Had a late stop at a new cafe on the side of the mountain for crepes and a break, weather was starting to clear at this point but light is still bad. We opted to do a few runs then head in. Somewhere along the line Stubby and Jane had a falling out and Jane made her own way back. We spent the last few runs finding small jumps and steep 'drop ins' from the side of the slopes, each one more challenging than the last in the hopes someone would get caught out. None of us are ready for the x-games, but we did better than expected.
Today Gaz finally got his call back from the insurance company, he is getting a taxi to the airport and a flight home this afternoon. They must have seen a picture of him - they booked two seats for the flight home.
Also tonight everyone is going out for Russells birthday, I think we are all supposed to be going out to dinner in fancy dress followed by out to bars and clubs...
