Just had one of those 'Oh my God' steep and deep powder days in Courmayeur.
What a finish to a great week on the 5 day Tech clinic.
Yep, another great week, a great crew, a good laugh and some fantastic riding. Everyone came on strong in the end and today, with a good 30cm of fresh over night in Italy we spent the whole day tracking it out in the trees, Nice!
I've been riding the Jones Flagchip 163 XL this week, a super nice board, 'the dream has become a reality' and it was fantastic to get it into some fresh and feel it float under foot. A very strong and stable board on its edge and super easy and quick to turn. Snappy and strong in the tail and that nose is just so nice. A real pleasure to ride, thank you once again Mr Jones!
Off Piste clinic starts on Monday so I'm really looking forward to that, the top of Courmayeur was closed today so there should still be something to ride up there next week and I'm looking forward to getting the Flagship 168XL back out and hitting up some high speed powder. The hunt will be on for the best snow and the best lines.
Looks like I'll be putting on another Splitboard course the last week of March (28th to 31st), details will be online on the courses page (www.mcnabsnowboarding.com) over the weekend so if you're looking to join us give Ruth a shout and book your place.
I managed to get in a couple of Bike and Weights sessions this week and after a massive squatts session last night and riding full bore today I'm feeling pretty beat and ready for the weekend.
Getting super charged for next week!
All is good!
Neil.
