Pow!

8 Days into the trip and new snow every day! Unlike New Zealand reports, they UNDER-report what's fallen overnight, so somehow after 20cm's on Wednesday night, the snow was up to mid-thigh level in places. We still haven't found anywhere to live yet, but the hostel has been great for meeting people to ride with.

I had one of the best crashes of my snowboard ''career'' yesterday, after jumping off a 2 metre cliff I landed and then caught an edge riding away, resulting in around 3 full backwards somersaults and three me-sized holes in the snow. I managed to come out uninjured though, so no problems.

Time to rest up for day 9...
