Another big week!

Not posted any news for a few days as things have been really busy over here with Neil and Gillian out skiing and the Irish trio Brian, daragh and Mike on a BC week.

After a couple of days skiing I switched back to the board and did a few days with the BC group fitting in a quick Grands Autannes on which Mike fell, his flow bindings released on him and he managed to slice his knee open on his own edge.

I've seen people flip out of flow bindings 3 times now, a heel edge fall and both bindings release! Bit of a danger so if you're riding flows then watch out for it.

Anyway, I've been carrying my first aid kit with me all season and not used it so it was time to pull it out and fix Mike up. With a bone deep gash on his knee I managed to pull out everything I needed, cleaned it up and stuck him back together so that he could ride down. Good result!

He needed stitches and was unfortunately out for the rest of the week, Flo from the hotel Cri-stal took him out paragliding the next day. You just can't keep a good man down!

Meanwhile Gillian and Neil did some tech sessions with Seb and got stuck into improving their Skiing.

The rest of the week brought us a Pas du Chevre, a Petite Envers (Valley Blanche) and a final day on the Col du Beaugean which was great.

Daragh gets the good on the Beaugean.

And so another week ends and a new one begins!

I've a few days off this week as Ralf is running a BC Freeride (I'll tag along for a couple of days) and Keith is away with the Juniors in Laax on a Pre Brits training week.

Its been pretty cold the last few days with strong Northerly winds blowing through but spring conditions are prevailing for the moment. More snow has been forecast for mid week so we wait and see.

All is good,

Neil.
