snowtastic in voss


Overcast and snowing today, much like the rest of Europe I suppose.
Stu and I have just had an hour's snowboard tuition with a local guru. She really knew her stuff and how to help us. So now we can carve and only fall over every other turn.

on my way to voss


Ready for take-off in my favourite seat, 13a, with plenty of leg room. Ahead is a week of skiing in Voss with Stu and Tim. Conditions are perfect, it is still low season and the forecast is good.
Stoked!
