Panic - I beg to differ. I wouldn't have the first clue which way I was going if I was panicking!
And you must have mis-read my post. I clearly stated that snowboarders were lacking in motorskills - not skiers. Keep up mate! Although that would require that you pull up your pants, put down the joint, get a pair of skis and grow some motorskills...![]()

Heheh!
I know what you mean.
The first time I went to Mrka, it was the one week that it snowed in Idaho. The guy who was our host took us for a ride at night in his pickup truck, and switched on his 'brights' as we went down a street in the opposite direction the snow was falling. It was great!
Then we went to some really flash suburb, and he did donuts at the end of the culdesac.
Riding in snow's all right when it's fresh and hasn't melted and refrozen, and it's not much different to riding in the wet. The tricky bit is when it sticks to your visor, so you open it, then it fills up.
My funniest memory of driving in the snow was a few years ago when we were driving at night. A b0iRacr mobile coming the other way had a huge airdam on the front. He slipped a bit, got out of the clearish bit on the road, and the corner of the airdam went into the drift at the edge. Instant snowplough! And he came to a very quick stop.![]()
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....![]()
got a pic of the snowman yet, mark?
gotta love snow. spent half a winter canada a few years back. amazing! only thing is when the council clears the roads, they are icy instead. id rather have plain old snow than ice, lol.
best way to warm up as well, sweeping the driveway. used to take me something like 2-3 hours of shovelling snow just so we could go and get groceries.
the longest bit was breaking through the piles that the snow plow leaves. cos the roads get done twice daily [or more] the snow just refreezes till its hard as the hobs of hell. takes ages to break through that. but on the upside, you go out blue and come in red!

the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

Yaay, yippeeeee and Hurray...Snow's finally here. Thanks for the happy news Mark.
Definitely give a go to snowboarding if you haven't already. It's uncannily addictive, such a natural high.
Plus, I always thought you were Shaun White's lost twin, so I bet you'd be a natural at it.
Of course not silly...a few home made mulled wines, and I am gliding without discomfort. Besides, it keeps people out of my way.
I just bought myself a wicked Burton set (board, bindings and boots) for $400 brand new, so can't wait to get to some white stuff. And TC would be perfect, but I'm not sure the budget will stretch that far this year.

lol...love yer work!
That's a f*cking good deal you got yourself there too.
We normally get a group together for a week or two in the Southern Alps...rent a nice house with a big fuck off fire...couple of car loads and the cost is not that great!
Stop off in Methven either on the way down or back up for a bit of a blast at Mt Hutt...look out!
