Wednesday and it hasn't stopped snowing

WOW - what a day. It has been snowing non stop.

Cam and paddy headed out with the guide and the Becks - hopefully there will be go pro footage.

We did some new runs - and we used the hooded chairs where possible. The plan was to get to Annapuri but it was crazy at the top. So we did these runs where every single run was powder powder powder. I can't believe that this afternoon going back to the Gondola on what would be the main drag we came across stashes of powder. There was a ridiculous amount of snow.

Stack of the day: Paddy thinks he is a winner - reckons he front flipped over and into a tree (check the you tube footage of similar runs) and he has a huge egg on his leg an reckons he was out for a moment or 2.

Charlie: Skiing down beside the hooded chair in deep powder, hit a stash of powder, lost both his skis and landed 10m down the hill and slid down the hill (for the sake of controversy he slid not flew through the air).

Charlie and I ducked through a rope and did a black run on the run home

The boys and I had a hot chocolate amd some steamed buns at the 1000m hut - it was terrific.

Rob took some great photos








the big thermometer - minus 15






Jem and Charlie did a couple of runs by themselves at the end of the day. They had fun.

Cam and Paddy got home late - and crashed. The rest of us went for an onsen. Fabulous - although the little boys had to have  a lie down as they got a bit hot.

All fabulous.

  1. Wow guys it all looks amazing. Hard to believe there's that much snow, let alone how you stay upright (most of the time) whizzing around with all those trees in the way! x pru
