The sort of place that people get helicoptered into and which, despite me never having stood on anything less stable than a set of scales, you reckoned I should have my first experience of snowboarding. Not in a lesson way though, just in a nailing the board to my feet and pointing downwards experience.<BR/><BR/>I should have known it was a bad idea when I had to dismount from the ski lift by being thrown off face downwards into the snow, narrowly avoiding a sharp blow to the back of the head from the next chair.<BR/><BR/>After going to ground more often in half an hour than Ronaldo does in a full season, using the snowboard as a luge was a masterstroke, flawed only by its tendency to pick up speed quicker than when its two for one in the amphetamine shop.<BR/><BR/>Snowdon looked good though, although ferreting sounds better. Our Zoe has one apparently (a ferret, not a mountain) so if we have any ferreting days on the horizon count me in and I'll bring it along. I dont think she would mind if it didnt make it home again. She views ferrets as I do tents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
