Quit your day job. Go on. I dare you.

I went out guided-skiing in Courmayeur with the posh chalet boys again yesterday. We spent the whole day hooning around in the deep powder & sunshine. Loads of forest descents, snow filled gullies and couloirs, and jumping around like goons. The others are pretty gnarly skiers and the stuff we were doing yesterday was right on the limit of my ability and probably the most intense day of skiing I’ve ever had.

Digging yourself out of waist deep powder is hard work and I was falling a lot, so was properly exhausted by the time I was back in Chamonix.

So getting up at 8am and getting into my ski stuff again to be at Flegere for the seasonaire training session was a bit hard. Not to mention the 3 hour lesson that followed in quite deep, sticky powder in snowy conditions. However – I did learn to do a 180 jump on the piste – landing backwards and skiing off, so am quite chuffed about that.

Anyhoo – judging the fat that I’m in dire need of a nap this afternoon, not to mention the state of my left leg, I should probably take it a bit easier for a day or two.
