Snowboarding!

On this two day excursion to Perisher Blue, we encountered some pretty intense weather. The first day was mainly 'blizzard' conditions; with snow that would be better compared to hail and wind the "big bad wolf" would be proud of. All in all, the slopes were great with excellent powder, but poor visibility some parts of the day. Day two was almost the same, but by lunch time the sun came out which made for an absolutely brilliant day/afternoon. During the duration of the two days, my boarding was close to flawless; even though I did hit a tree going 'toe side' down a run. My fitness far exceeded the requirements for the excursion which in turn made me not sore after/during the camp. The differences from this camp from others, apart from the obvious location and weather, was the fact that we stayed in a Chalet instead of a tent. I also think that this camp was better than the Surfing or Snorkeling camps were that I did have to wear those bloody ridiculous wetsuits.

This camp was exceptionally good due to the fact that my skills had improved immensely and it was great to see other people stack, instead of me.
