Chamonix training session 1 - a big thank you
03/03/06 final day
Didn't end up going out as the avalanche risk was too high. Instead, I made good use of the hot tub and began packing my bags.
In the evening we had our final dinner. I also realised that Neil McNab (4 times British snowboarding champion and the owner of the McNab Chalet) had a shaved head and was not, as I mistakenly thought, permanently wearing a white hat!
At the end of the dinner I handed out small business cards to everyone which had information on the sponsored heliboard so that they could spread the word back in their homelands.
I will be returning to Chamonix for further training taking place over 2 long weekends before the end of April.
I would just like to thank all the people who crossed my path during my first training week in Chamonix from 24th February to 4th March 2006.
Especially would like to thank Easy Jet - who paid for the flights
McNab Chalet for providing my accommodation and snowboarding instruction
Keith McIntosh- my instructor who gave me the regular motivational kicks to keep me going and skilfully adapted his training so I could fully benefit.

Adil - respect to you.
I currently live in Chamonix (& hope to be there in November) and am a rider too.
If me (and I am sure I speak for my friends too) can help you with anything, please just ask.
You can email me on matt at interesting times dotnet

What is the route you have in mind?
- Matt
