the videos’ll need some mashing before they go up, but for now, here are some pictures

this year’s destination was mayrhofen, austria. the snow held up including a day of total white-out on thursday (one of the pictures shows what it was like being on the lifts) and there were some excellent off-piste runs, lots of carving, s-turns, backside-180s and edge-of-the-piste air. we’re so rad

the orange brits were held at in laax this year. the main site for the event is here at orangebrits.com. if you’re looking for a boarding holiday next year, this is the one to do. the mountain area is huge and the events put on in the evenings were excellent.

following my recent introduction to snow, it was time to get far more of it.
i went boarding with alex, alistair and alan and felt really left out since my name doesn’t start with an ‘a’.

i came home covered in bruises but confident that this’ll become a regular feature on my calendar. if you’ve never tried snowboarding, book a trip now.
