Sauna house life

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.

3rd year : life gets serious

Its my 3rd year at uni

How the heck did i end up here? Its only 5 minutes ago i started first year at Plymouth

since my last blog ive been boarding a few times Ive held down a desk job all summer ( ive never felt like someones stolen an entire summer before )
Ive moved into a new place and currently have a Norweigan room mate asleep on my bed.....
How do you get a Norweigan off of a bed

Ive also now got windows 8 and a new laptop wohooo but windows 8 is really confussing me it seems to have a mind of its own ......

I also had a wicked few days in scotland this summer with Inga we partied up at the Braemar Highland games and it was such a good weekend. The weather held for the most part and the colours and sounds of the game were fantastic. The highlight has got to be the mass pipeband , imagine over a 140 men women old and young playing pipes, banging the drums and marching around in all their finest tartan and shining silver wear.

The funniest bit has gotta be this lad in the picture with me.



He had been piping all day and was getting paid to play outside one of the nicest restaurants in town. We were having a bite to eat and a beer in the place opposite when his drunken pipe master starts shouting 'ehhhhhh Jimmmy lad yourr drooonnneeesss shitttt!' so this lad goes about messing with his drones whilst the old pipe master is pissing himself carrying on the abuse.

Then the old guys turns to us and says ' ohh he's a fair wee piper shamee his pipes are foooked '

 so despite having my summer stolen from me I still some real fun. Even wheeling Jonesy through Tesco's after he'd broken his ankle whilst he chatted up every female member of staff.....

Third year started like 3 days ago and since its been hectic with a whole bunch of coursework im working on and a dissertation to write.

Its kinda overwhelming already haha I just wanted another relaxed year throwing mad shapes in the clubs and chilling out with all the peeps.

But no University of Plymouth has other ideas for my spare, or what used to be spare, time so Im off to go research for an essay on '3 clauses you would add in to the New Engineering Contract which also comply with enviromental legislation' fun fun fun
