Snowboarding, Les Gets

Just back from a long weekend snowboarding in Les Gets. What a great little (or not so little resort). After last winter in New Zealand - I had become accustomed to short runs & minimum lifts - but what a surprise to be back in the European Alps, long long long long runs and bucket loads of lift - I was in heaven.. well not quite, it hasn't snowed in a couple of weeks and there was no powder - so were were restricted to the pistes, which was a pity - there was so much potential.



As with all good trips - small disasters must occur - sure ya need a story to tell :) Snapped binding, ripped boot, salopettes and board bag (all mine) & a pulled muscle (not mine)!!

Beauty in Dublin !?!

Yesterday, the sun came out. I got up early to reap the benefits the day had to offer. Sunrise on Sandymount beach served as a little reminder, don't have to look very far to see the beauty in the world. You can find it anywhere, you just have to look.

Like old times ...

... and so it was "the Glendo Club Trip "

Thinking about old times and getting to know the new folk - it was a night of chit chat, drunken banter and lots of laughter. I think the photos speak for themselves - have a look :)
