Day 2 on the slope- Chamonix Training session 2 (April 8th to 11th)
09/04/2006
Feel really crap and sore. Most of the time I was tumbling down the slope head first. The snow conditions were very slushy and the off piste stuff was like powder but mixed with water and of a similar consistency of lumpy ice-cream. Regardless, most of the problems today were from my really bad habit of leaning into the turns. Towards the last couple hours of the day Keith devised and idea, he would pelt snowballs at me everytime I fell due to leaning. I could see he was really enjoying this new rule as I think at some subconscious level he actually wanted me to lean so he could have an opportunity to fire snowballs at me. Truly being fed up of falling and then being bombed by snowballs I decided to get my own back.
I gathered lots of snow and picked up speed as I got close to Keith I called his name so I could hear exactly where he was. After he spoke I secured target and fired and got him well and good. However my success was short lived as he seen me happily riding towards a big mound of soft snow and stayed silent as I went crashing into it.
Being stoned the same as being blind?:
Had an interesting chat with someone today who was such a nice guy. He was trying to relate his experience of being stoned and skiing in a whiteout to my snowboarding blind!
