ive been in St anton for nearly 2 months now...........
and i love it
living in the wooden shack that we do rocks i mean check out this picture of it!
its a shame about the snow though its a really slow winter weve had maybe 2 or 3 powder days
but weve made the most of them. Even on a transfer day where were not allowed to ride we made a little kicker on the hill down from the sauna house and were hitting it.
I got a sweet picture of old haz ( one of the roomies ) getting a sick nose grab off of it.
I managed to get out here christmas eve and so had a great christmas day helping out in the 24 man chalet Garry had made a great christmas dinner, including an amazing sausage and herb stuffing that went down a storm and we just beasted out dinner service then headed into town for a few brewskis.
The big night in St Anton though is new years eve and we hit it hard as we had the next day off.
Its mental with everyone partying in the tiny main street letting off fireworks all around you from the middle of the crowd. We carried the party on back here and poor Kiera passed out pretty early and the first game of rodeo of the year happened.
The picture doesnt do it justice as 5 minutes after this she had ski's snowboards fire extinguishers on her too.
A couple of weeks ago we had a vally rally which basically involves getting dressed up in some fancy dress and then going round the mountain in teams doing challenges and having drinks along the way. As i lacked fancy dress i was handed a fantastic team russia one piece to wear and i wore it with some real style as you can see here.
with the past few powder days we have been hiring the proper avi gear and going hiking and making the most of it. But a day after a huge pow day ange and i had a chilled out ski round just enjoying being on the mountain in the sun
right ive got to go to spar now to go get some minced meat for tonights dinner a tasty lasagne for my american guests. 5 17 year old lads who just want a couple of courses a night of filling tasty food.
