After a ridicoulously long journey we finally arrived at our appartment in Avon night before last. Our flat is amazing it must be twice the size of our old London flat even the bed is huge. Unfortunately we are still suffering from jet lag so as soon as we get in it we wake up and have to get out again!
So yesterday after a few hours sleep (we arrived at 1am and woke up around 5.30am) we stocked up on some munch and headed out to Beaver Creek to get a couple of hours of snowboarding in. After a bit of faffing around sorting out passes etc we were on the chair lift and OMG was it cold. I had checked out the weather report that morning and it had warned of highs of -10 C.. but I wasn't ready for quite what that means in reality. We were wearing all of our Nepal gear down jackets, thermals etc but it was no use it was absolutely freezing. The snow however was great and the runs were really nice and quiet even though this is supposedly the busiest time of year. We only managed a couple of runs and then headed down to Dusty Boots, a bar that had been recommended by a couple of locals we met ;)
Well Jon took one look at all the different micro beers on offer and we were settled for the night!!
We staggered home quite a few hours later and spent the rest of the night trying to stay awake and stave off jet lag. That was all in vain as we passed out at 8am and I spent the entire night waking up at 30 min intervals.. one time to catch Jon storming out of the bedroom to catch a burglar that he thought he had heard ha ha ha.
This morning there is a snow storm.. well like the saying says when the going gets tough the tough go shopping - I am now the proud owner of a beautiful K2 VVV board (which I don't actually know how to ride) with matching bindings and Jon stocked up on a few goodies too. Now we have to go out riding even though its even colder than yesterday!! Well at least there is fresh snow.. and of course there is always Dusty Boots...!
