It was the best snowboarding trip I have done!
Great mountain, great snow, party, competitions etc.!
Felt like half of the SCUK was there! There wehere more people than in the bash!
Was great to watch the competition, even entered the boarder cross and qualified, the idea was to enter everybody in the club there but they all chickened out :-P To compensate we all the the Red Bull Home Run on the last day and that was great fun :-) Watching the snowboard big air was fun, but missed half of it because we where doing a snowball fight :-)
We had descent snow there to begin with and the weather was mild for the first 2 days, then started snowing heavily there after, the first couple days of snow visibility was an issue, made wipe out as I could not see the ground at all to find which edge I should be using! It made me get some snow in between my lenses and foggy goggle for a couple of days. I had to disassemble them to dry.
On the big, enfasize big, plus side was that we got tons of fresh powder! Real freshly fallen powder that hardly any snowboard could float on. I almost ended up on a lake one day as was riding on powder on complete white out. Some people fell off cliffs but did not get hurt because they landed on fresh powder. I must say I was addicted to powder there after and was trying to find every bit.
On the last day riding on powder as there was a dip I did not see in advance and the nose of my board dug in and I wiped out, this time I sprained my knee. I thought I did some real damage but I manage to ride down to the gondola and have lunch in the restaurant, did not feel so bad and I rode back on the black run of the Red Bull Race. Missed a days work to check it out on A&E and they told me it was just a sprain and nothing serious :-)
