I was in Les 2 Alpes for the new year.  It was fantastic to be back on real snow – the park set up was awesome as usual and the pipe was absolutely amazing.   It took me a few runs to get used to […]

We’ve had about 2 foot of snow in Walderslade in the past week – shame to waste it so I built myself a slopestyle course on the front drive!  I had a bit of a problem getting speed up as […]
