| (injured) |
| Wildside on Summit west for a powder fest. Had some great fresh tracks for about 45 mins then some decent lines for an hour then blew out my knee, see injury note.
Sprained Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) which puts me MIA for 3-4 weeks. This is shitty, and quite depressing since my brother is here next week for a ski holiday - needless to say he ain't pleased... |

| Against Mike V. I won 2-1 but only by a whisker. He had 2 match points so quite nice to get the W.
Felt quite fresh but both made a bunch of stupid mistakes. |

| Great day at Kendall RIdge with Matt, RVG, MC and Eric. Sun came out on the skin up through the trees. A couple nice laps off the ridge opposite the Kendall lakes and home on the road. Snow was pretty good quality with most bottomless stuff with the odd ice chuck / crust area. Stability was good too. Took a bad left shortcut off a switchback and ended up down in Gold Creek eventually after negociating some shitty crusty uphill/downhill stuff. Took me 1 hr extra to get out with that nav mistake and worked me really hard, I'm knacked tonight! If I'd looked at the map it would have been obvious not to take the route I did. Ended up having to don skins again and hack my way out! |
