BRITS10 March 2010 Laax Switzerland

Well, we managed to get "Rescued" on the first day, instead of coming down the bubble from the lat bit of the flims are one of the guys I wold not mention decided to go down that off piste 74. I did mention that was crap and should not go but went anyway and foolishly decided to make company just in case. The snow run out and had to walk on mud, then was unridable waist deep slush followed by a climb down when we got greeted by the ski patrol who led us down to the bottom but we had another half an hour of waist deep slush. The chair lift operators where not too happy to keep them for an extra hour for the bubble down to Flims then we got the bus back. The riding the rest of the week was slushy to say the least. We missed watching the boardercross as they managed to finish early when we just got there. The big air was interesting with the backflips etc. Got some good shots of the half pipe as well. Did not see the slopestyle as most of the resort closed down due to bad weather and we where left on other side of the mointain, haiving to take the bubble down to Flims and the bus back to Laax. Decided then to have one last run, bad mistake, managed to sprain the knee and shoulder wiping out as was building speed up before a roller that day. Well, was Friday and we finally had a powder dump and I had to ride the next day fully drigged up with all sorts of painkillers. Saturday compensated for the whole of the week. Rob somehow managed to do his arm/chest that day and at the end and did not take part the Red Bull Home Run. I took the Red Bull Home Run slowly this time due to injury. The apres ski was fun with the "Cushe" air bag, live music, "Rock Band", etc. Think the Red Bull olie might have been canceled due to snow. Lastly the Red Bull tent fell on my head as well. Must say the resort has improved facilities a lot, still pricey thought. Was less impressed with the evening parties as there where no live bands this time and mostly DJs, which is definitely not my cup of tea. So the pictures are here.
