The Life of Sloth

(Previously) Wandering amongst the mountains of New Zealand in search of cheese

Verbier, Courchevel, Les Arcs, Les Gets

This Sloth positively bursting at the seams with excitement about imminent trip to Euro-land! CoolBig Smile. Only a mere 16 days till I fly out, and in the words of my partner in crime "March is marching in already". We'll be waist deep in powder before we know it. Sweet as. Just started my day with a bit of Sookie and her old guitar (Saturation for those who've no idea what I'm on about) - great news, gets you farming and time to get the Massey out.

As for what's been going on recently:

  • Mr Goodey's been off to Les Gets, got thigh deep dumpy, loved it, then George Bush took it all away again by raining on the schnitz.
  • Mr Jarmarl Of Jermaine went off to Courchevel to farm with Le Gasole over the weekend - loving it, loving life (good to hear all that's back again, and no landing on thumb)
  • The Nottingham Royalty are off to nail some extremeness (that's both extreme steep stuff and extreme expense) in Verbier from this weekend. Looking forward to hear back about all that. See Verbier snow report.

Lesley trip just getting bigger and bigger - now 3 or 4 groups of us going, something like 20 people. Holy crapola! That train journey's gonna be chaos dotcom. How's the weather?

2007 Season Passes are out over here, gotta get in quick for earlybird prices, just can't figure out yet which ones to get. NZSki - Mount Hutt pass most likely. Then there's the License To Chill pass giving access to 11 club fields over here - bit more pricey than I expected but these places need farming out. Imagine wide open powder bowls, steep, tight chutes and no people. That's where it's at. Jarmarl and Goodey - let's get this sorted!
