Spot The Difference?
WordPress. This blog is now being published using WordPress. Ouch. I’d like to say that the migration from Blogger is finished, but it isn’t. I’d like to say that the worst is over, but I don’t think it is. Well, it might be. I think the anxiety, at least, is passing. The frustration is ebbing [...]
Breckenridge 2011
OK, next season is still a long way off; there are probably quite a few hills still getting fresh snow this season. But still, the current feeling for next season is Breck. I’m not quite sure why I’m so set on this destination? My brother returned from a late week in Morzine (a couple of [...]
Snowflex vs. Indoor Snow
Which is better? Which is better for you? Which would you build if you had a choice? We got a letter through the door last week that included a survey regarding some improvements to the Stadium close to where we live. They’re thinking about building a new “Sports Village”, possibly including an indoor snow slope, [...]
Snowboarding Trick Tips

Bike Ride, Hamsterley Forest
I went for a ride yesterday with some friends at Hamsterley Forest. As well as wanting to be fit for snowboarding, I’ve started to train for a 3-day ride later this year: the coast to coast. I think we ended up doing around 12/13 miles, all off-road. There were some pretty nice hills in there [...]
Absinthe Flipside Episodes: Neverland
I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I enjoy documentary-style programs, and the Absinthe Flipside shows are an excellent example. Well, Whitelines has a bunch of episodes for their recent production: Neverland. I’m not sure if that’s the full collection yet, but what’s there is definitely worth watching, if you like this type of thing. I [...]
