10th - 12th of August Report

What a weekend. Saturday night we had 9 people in the house and a pretty good party, except for poor Sid who bailed on monday morning due to the flu. My mardigras skate boots perform excellently and I am now the proud owner of a skating set up, prolly about time since I'm going for my Level 2 nordic certification this year.

Sunday was reported to be a great day, especially in the afternoon. But Monday was amazing, 20cm of fresh, blue sky and 120mm underfoot skis. I borrowed Carls DPS Lotus 120s and they were a revalation, I've been having that a lot with gear of late. Once I started to drive those skis they performed fantastically in the chopped up fresh and smearing is a whole new world. One run at Eyre I would straightline, then smear sideways to scub off speed, getting a face shot, before straightlining again. Marvin fell more in love with with his AK Rockets and Carl did amasingly well on his new touring boots in challenging conditions.

I had too much fun for taking photos.
