My Australian Snow Season Kicks off
Well finally, I got down to the snows. This year the Australian snow season has been pretty ordinary. With not much snow falling and a base that stands around 45cm. I haven't got down to the snows much, that and a few niggling injuries have slowed me down. But finally made it out there this last weekend. Good old Shredders was very icy and patchy in places. Lots of ice and rock and it was highly advisable to stick to the groomed areas.
But we had heaps of fun anyway. The terrain parks were open with mainly boxes and rails which were fun. Except for those few who found the box and rails a bit too hard! Ouch!!
Sunday it was really windy so most areas were really slow to get access to, which sucked but that’s the story of thredders..
One highlight was on Sunday when I had to chase some strangers snowboard down through the terrain park. He let it go and it hit 2 people (then his binding came off) and then it kepted going. As was flying after it and I remember thinking, hhmm what happens if I do catch up with it what do I do?? Anyway as I rounded the corner I had to scream out cause it was flying so fast. IT eventually hit someone sitting down but luckily the board took most of the impact. Ouch. He was spewing at me for a while but after a few moments he realised I was helping out and had nothing to do with it! Then the loser came walking down and picked up his board. Stoopid foolz.. Always have a leash on if you don't know what your doing!
Anyway the snow started falling last night so hopefully more snow and a base the next time I go in 2 weeks time. Fingers crossed..
