gutted about not riding my bike for a week but looking forward to being in the mountains with my daughter as we learn snowboarding.
anyone out there too? ๐
Not yet, but in two weeks time with Mrs Stumpy. Dont forget your crash pants for the first few days and welcome to the cool world of boarding Mr Jedi, have a good one 8)
if cham gets snow like we're due from tonight onwards, its going to be flipping epic out there...
i love the summer there on my bike ๐
I bloody love ...snowboarding.
Nice skiing pictures! ๐
Had to cancel my trip in early Jan as mates told me they were stuck inside due to blizzard forecast to last 5 days (it did) ! Zermatt for week of 28th. Some of my best days ever have been in the mountains with the kids.
Have fun (it will be hard not too)
Riding going great btw, confidence, composure, control - just feels so much much better. Big thank you.
have fun and go to poco loco.
jambalaya, high5! ๐
Oh and make sure you get about the valley, vallorcine has some new lifts! ๐
Chamonix is fantastic, one of my favourite places to ski, ...enjoy 8)
i am really going to miss my bike this week ๐
Rather you than me
Chamonix is a rather expensive shithole ๐ฅ
i been going there in the summer for years
Get a grip !!! Its one week without your bike but you will be riding your board (spending time on your arse whilst learning).I bet your daughter kicks your arse ๐ฏ You will love it once it all clicks into place, trust me I,m a Yorkshire man.
Forget the pants, buy some wrist guards!
I'm out in Steamboat at the mo, you'll forget your bike the first time you hit the powder ๐
chamonix - full of phenomenal off-piste possibilities - amazing place.
stick to Brevent and Flegere as there primarily South facing and nice and warm when the sun's out.
grand montets is my fave hill in the area - may be a bit too much if this is your 1st week though.
great bar in town too that serves it's own micro brews.
bon chance !
We're going to be there on the 1st Feb. Can't wait as I've never skiied there before.
was real fun learning. was awesome to ride in the alps with my mates and my daughter.
cominbg down blue then red on the col de balme was a highlight
carving that baby yet Tony ?
Yea rode blue to the red under col de balme lift . Wsoopy fun
get yourself to the top of grand montets tomorrow - best hill in cham ๐
im back home now
@nedrapier is that the Glacier Ronde exit/cosmiques? One of my favorite descents that.
Jedi, I saw your pics on Facebook, was very tempted to leave a comment about your body positioning and where you where looking ๐
Incidentally I just had a great ride at llandegla today, mainly thanks to new wider bars and your training finally, after 7 months, seemingly starting to have effect!
that was first day ๐ ๐
high5
It's ok I believe you ๐
So how did you enjoy boarding?
Tbh I thought you had done it before from some of the comparisons you made to biking when teaching me
i tried 6yrs ago for a day then bust myself on day 2. my daughter wanted to learn so off we went. i just applied what i do when riding/coaching = sweet ๐
