Snowboarding in Stowe
Sunday, January 07, 2007
The morning after arriving back from Orlando, I picked up a Chevy Monte Carlo which would be the equivalent of a in SA - pretty sick. So we stuffed all the bags in (and just fitted) threw the chicks in the back and headed for Stowe in Vermont (state about Massachusetts). The only problem was that it has been the warmest winter in a 100 years or something here, so there was not much snow at all.
When we got there Rob and myself went for a lesson and after about an hour and a half we had it cooked! The instructor was impressed and said we could move onto the next slope the next morning (which was coincidently the only other slope open).
Julie joined us the next day and she is an excellent skier, so she cruised past us while Rob and myself scrapped our way down the slopes.
On Christmas eve we went for dinner at some Italian restaurant which ened up being a cracker (a christmas cracker).
The next and last day Rob and I started getting used to it and we were carving our way down the slopes without hitting any other skiers or trees. The only thing that was crap was that there weren't many slopes open and the big snow started as we left but it was still brilliant and I can safely say that I would out of my limited experience give Dari and Wes a whippin on the slopes.
