The boys having fun at Xscape last Friday.

I know it’s pretty poor quality. I keep trying to do some decent filming or photography whilst I’m boarding, but I just can’t seem to keep still long enough. Once I’m on the snow, boarding always seems to be a better option than standing still recording someone else doing it

Indoor snow is all well and good, but I can’t wait to get back on the real stuff - here’s a bit of footage from Rendl, by St Anton last April. Now that’s more like it!  If you look carefully you can see Fergus cut across my fresh tracks.  Ahhhh fresh tracks.

Stumble it!

I switched my wee voting plugin yesterday to ask what you like doing most in the snow.

I should say before a ski vs snowboard flame war erupts that I do both, and love doing both.  I prefer snowboarding, in fact I would describe myself as a snowboarder that also sometimes skis, but I’d like to think that the bad old days of animosity between skiers and snowboarders are over.  We’re all just riders now aren’t we?  In these days of twin-tip skis in the park and hard-boot snowboarders blasting down slalom courses the old division makes no sense.

Stumble it!
