The Life of Sloth

Winter 2006 Season - Day Fourteen (Return of the neige)

Sweet! Big SmileBig SmileBig Smile
Bad weather all day yesterday down at lake level meant it was snowing up top, and it continued to do so for most of today too. Thing is, it was actually looking sunny when we left this morning, so I'd taken out my orange lenses and put the mirrors back in. Mistake number 1. Heavy snow when we got up to Coronet, couldn't see much at all. Still, at least it was snowing again!
There I was riding along, thinking I'd been getting better at this weight over the front thing. Must have given it a bit too much bcos all of a sudden Sloth's spectacular fall of the day, seemed to have caught the nose and flipped myself straight over. Embarrassed
Neige kept on farming down all morning and into the afternoon - had a few more runs and definately in much better condition out there now - prob around another 20cm or so. Managed to leave just as skies started to clear, had an argument with the wrong size snowchains and got back down. Should be heading back up 2moro, may give the Remarks another go...
