What are lids?
Only required in the black park at Whistler. (XL jumps).
PS. Another metre of snow in the past week

Definitely need a helmet if you're going to ride at Whistler

Not a fan of helmets, too big and bulky for my liking. Guess I'll just hit the other parks. So the snow is brilliant at the moment by the sounds, special order for the olymipics 
Any new pics btw

Anyway, hopefully off to Avoriaz in the Alps like usual for a weeks skiing.
Does anybody else ever ski with the Ski Club of Great Britain reps? Went for a few days with one last year and it wasn't bad. Had a nice picnic overlooking Lake Geneva

Teesside, took us about 29 hours to get home in total. At least we didn't crash like we did on the way down there
Hit the side of a tunnel? I think there were a few of our guys on your bus (unless more than 1 bus crashed?)
Who were the guys in the light blue hoodies that we had a snowball fight with? (we were in royal blue) That was the highlight of my journey home

Hit the barrier on the inside (right side) of a motorway just a few hours outside Calais, absolutely disgraceful tbh. There were a few scottish people on our coach (Glasgow rings a bell?) as there were only 25 of us - I wouldn't fancy doing the journey from up your way on a coach, Middlesbrough is already too far imo lol.
Not guilty on the snowball fight, but I remember seeing a battle commencing in Calais port haha
im off here in feb
I went to Chatel for a weekend the other year, lovely place. Get yourself into The Stash in Morzine/Avoriaz/wherever it is, it's ace!
Hey peeps,
mate of mine mocked up a vid from the tiny amount of footage of our Tignes 09 trip, check it out:

Motion graphics are awesome, shame about the riding!

Nice video and really good editing, shame about the skiing and boarding. Only joking although some more practice wouldn't go amiss . Bet it wasn't as sunny as it looked in the video!
Heads up on a great ski jacket if anyone's on the lookout.

Only a few left. Last season jacket at half-price and I thought it was quite good value last year. Looks a lot better in real life than the pic suggests and has laser cut zips and gore tex for under £100. The attention to detail is very good and there is a removalable snow-skirt even though it doesn't mention it. Sersiously the best value jacket money can buy.

Was that while waiting at Calais? Might have been my group

I went up to Yad Moss in cumbria the other day, £15 for a days lift pass and only one tow rope (though it's 600m iirc so big enough) and would highly recommend it to anyone who is near by and contemplating it.
Can't believe I didn't find out about this place sooner! http://www.yadmoss.co.uk/

What's the road like up to it? I live very near by, and keep meaning to go along, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get up there.
edit: Just had a look at the website, and it says the road from Alston is clear, so that's fine. The only problem is I hate the tow they've got there, I kept coming off it, even though I'm perfectly capable of using all the other tows elsewhere. Maybe it's just me
I just bought myself a new snowboard and bindings. Im going on my third boarding holiday next month and finally got myself to get my own board after a lot of umm'ing and arr'ing over the years.
Got myself a Omatic Celebrity - http://www.omaticsnowboards.com/wordpress/hardgoods_celebrity.html with K2 cinch ctc bindings - http://www.spadout.com/p/k2-cinch-ctc-snowboard-bindings/
Also grabbed myself a new jacket which has built in controls for your ipod on the sleeve
