Riding Footage From The 2005/2006 Season
OK, so I’ve finished editting the footage I had from last season (2005/2006). It was definitely fun making this sequence – I just wish I’d done it at the end of last season rather than the beginning of this one. Still, I managed to get it done before the first trip this year, so I [...]
La Prariond, Tignes '06 – Appartment Review

Bazoom! Good Snowboard Hire In Tignes
Personally I have never hired a snowboard – but whenever I’ve been away in a group, at least one person has hired. I don’t know about your experiences, but from my point of view the norm tends to be pretty poor boards with not much attention given to a more personal setup… But maybe when [...]

You'll Find Me Riding The Halfpipe…
…on bad weather days. Towards the start of the second week we had a few bad weather days. It was a big change after the first week was filled with perfect sunshine (sweet) – we couldn’t really see much up on the mountain. I’ve done a little halfpipe riding in the past so decided that [...]
