Bum Boarding….

Tonight after we had all been out for a very nice meal we sent the boys off bum boarding…..

If your not sure what that is …it’s where you slide down the snow sat on a plastic seat shaped like your bum, and you can go very very fast.

As you can imagine they had a lot of fun, some good crashes and came home wet through.

Thankfully we only had 2 bum boards so Geoff and I escaped having a go…  but there is always tomorrow  🙂

Achieving my Goals……

Well today was the day I got from the top all the way to the bottom in one go and what a great feeling it was too.

I seem to like the blue run’s as I still like the ski run to be nice and wide.

I lost count on how many blue run’s we did or on how many chair lifts we usDSCF1763ed,but we had a great day.

I ended the day by skiing all the way back down into the village and what a confidence booster that was.

I am now worn out as you don’t get much of a rest when you don’t keep falling over  🙂

Photo of the day was Geoff on his snowboard…..

Skiing not walking…

Today I finally realized that I can actually ski, just because I cannot get all the way down the mountain in one go does not mean I cannot ski. flickr

Although I wont be happy until I can get down in one go 🙂 I am sure doing better than last year.

Geoff talked us into going up to Mont Chery to ski today, the last time I had been there was in April 2007 when we had walked to the summit in training for our GR 20 walk.

There was a few moments at the top when I felt real scared but then I pulled myself together , stopped looking down, and concentrated on skiing from side to side. It was a fantastic feeling.
