This weekend, while Maaike was off doing the Spring Challenge, I went to Mt. Olympus to go snowboarding, and we both had excellent weekends.
Neil and Ruth picked Mike and I up after work and we headed off to Olympus on the Friday night. Big winds forecast and looking like it might just be the Saturday on the field, but still, worth getting away from the thousand or so aftershocks that we’ve been having. Honestly, if there’s one take-out from all this earthquake business, it’s that it’s the aftershocks which are the real psychological killer!.
Anyways… up we headed and I had the best days boarding of the season. Lots of deep snow to fall into and just a great time.
Some of those pictures are Neil & Ruths. Neil was experimenting with his new IXUS (Canon) camera. I’m quite jealous and am now hanging out for my one to break ;) It also has some weird features, like being able to take pictures when you’re smiling and a fisheye effect. I think Neil had to force the camera to take this picture of Mike and I, as we were resolutely trying not to smile.
And finally, a video of me trying out my latest trick – the full speed faceplant.
