• Kent Snowboarding Day 4

  At this rate, I'm gonna end up doing more days in Kent than I did in the whole of my last season in NZ!! So there we were again, more fresh and time to get back out there. Chris had managed to find two of those 80s classic sledges - now they don't... Posted Jan 10 2010, 02:31 AM by le_sloth with | with no comments Filed under: Snowboarding, England, Winter 2010

• Kent Snowboarding Day 3

  Never would've thought I'd be doing this much riding in Kent, but here it is. Another fantastic morning with nobody about. Just wouldn't mind a lift or two cos walking up gets Alain right out. Great conditions in Kent again this morning. Another... Posted Jan 09 2010, 11:23 AM by le_sloth with | with no comments Filed under: Snowboarding, England, Winter 2010

• How times have changed

  10 years old we may be, but numbers are certainly dwindling. As I write this, I know only 3 of us committed to getting out in the mountains so far this year. Yes, only 3. Even those without kids aren't into it any more. A few years ago we almost had... Posted Jan 08 2010, 07:46 AM by le_sloth with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Snowboarding, Winter 2010

• Stuart and Anton are taking the John Deere out

  The tractors have all be in for quite a long service this summer/autumn/winter (I've no idea what season it's supposed to be - November in shorts anyone?). Now they're all nicely tuned and ready to push a bit further east this time. So St... Posted Nov 23 2009, 08:47 PM by le_sloth with | with no comments Filed under: Snowboarding, Austria, Winter 2010

• Huffer House of Horrors

  Some pretty sick vids here from NZ. Love the refined angriness of the Audi in the third one! Episode One Episode Two Episode Three Posted Sep 10 2009, 11:02 AM by le_sloth with | with no comments Filed under: Snowboarding, New Zealand, Video

• This is what a closed day at Mt Hutt can look like ....

  Watch the video It’s been like that for a few days now – glad I’m not stuck up there! Posted Aug 04 2009, 04:50 PM by le_sloth with | with no comments Filed under: Snowboarding, New Zealand, Video, Mt Hutt

• Mt Hutt - Winter 2009 Day 3

  Here we go with another day up the local mountain, hadn't been for a couple of weeks, so much to do with the move back to the other side! Sloth's Report on GoneBoarding Posted Jul 15 2009, 11:17 PM by le_sloth with | with no comments Filed under: Snowboarding, New Zealand, Mt Hutt, Winter 2009

• Mt Hutt - Winter 2009 Day 2

  Straight in no kissing, here we go with a beaut of a day, just 4 days after the first. No time for girly legs this time round. So I took 2 randoms off SnowPool again - oh dear oh dear. So the first one gets in and pretty much says nothing at all from... Posted Jul 03 2009, 11:11 PM by le_sloth with | with no comments Filed under: Snowboarding, New Zealand, Mt Hutt, Winter 2009

• Mt Hutt - Winter 2009 Day 1

  I almost ran out of time, but there was no way I wasn't going riding in June, especially as Mt Hutt had been open since the end of May! Got someone from Snowpool to come up for the day, which was all good. Must've been a bit excited/Alain/whatever...

• It’s snowing at last!

  We’re a full month into the season and this Sloth still hasn’t been up the mountain yet! Things are finally looking up though, up the top, right up there. 10cm freshies overnight, still snowing now and more looking likely for next couple of days. All...

• Sloth has a new Helmet

  It’s not shiny or polished, but it is rather large. Fortunately it has good ventilation as I wouldn’t want it getting too sweaty. That’s all, thought I’d let you know as everyone likes a good helmet in the morning. Here she is . Posted Jun 11 2009, 12:53 PM by le_sloth with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Snowboarding, Cheese

• It’s not over till Dumpy says so!

  [I realised I never posted this little story from the arse-end of Winter 2008, so it is…] It’s the end of October, I’d just about packed everything away until next season and was convincing myself to get the bike out. But then I saw the weather for the... Posted May 24 2009, 03:58 PM by le_sloth with | with no comments Filed under: Snowboarding, New Zealand, Mt Hutt, Winter 2008

• Sorry Gary, a New Fancy That Production!

  Dear Gary We truly are very sorry for our behaviour last night. We should have realised that you were in fact dressed for bed and had an early start on your skis ahead. Sorry Gary Allan Davis and Arran Dayris p.s. here it is - oh yes, the long-awaited...

• Sorry Gary...coming soon!

  “Gary, are you dressed for bed?” “I don’t want to funk you, Gary” “Sorry, Gary” Almost like a sick April Fool’s joke, YouTube has gone down on me on the one day I finally get round to uploading a new Fancy That Production. So I’m afraid it’ll be just... Posted Apr 01 2009, 09:09 PM by le_sloth with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Snowboarding, Fancy That Productions, Video, randomness, roadtrip, Japan
