3rd Feb 2008 - McNab Snowboarding Day 1 – Le Tour
Very cold on the first lift from Le Tour, not been on my board for a year and we had to traverse right across- that went well. Then up a drag lift for first ride! I made it almost to top then caught an edge and was off. Had to hike the rest.
We caught some fantastic powder for the first run down it was sweet!
Rest of the day we just had powder run after powder run. I did a floppy helicopter fall when I caught a hidden rock. The rock ripped my board base but the fall got me credibility from my group!
By lunch time my legs were really hurting- especially my calf was cramped up in my right boot! But I rode on fine for more powder descents and some trees.
We had to descend to the bus in Switzerland and then back up from Vallorcine in the gondola- we had to rush to the next lift which shut at 4:15 we arrived at 4:16!
But we hung out there til 5pm when the pisteur let us up and we rode all the way back to Le Tour- I was shattered and walked to the bus like an old lady.
