So I thought I'd get around to writing about what I did at the weekend. It was a pretty good laugh but hard work. Friday night wasn't too bad, we just built stuff ready to go on the slope the next day and I got home just after 12. I then had to get up at 4.45 to get to Cas for 6 on Saturday morning though. We powered on through and managed to get everything set up and ready for the skiers. It was fairly easy through the day because it was just a case of making sure none of the signs got knocked over and picking people up when they broke themselves.
I did manage to get a good view but neglected to take any photos of much slope action, I got intimidated by people with bigger lenses than me! I took a few random shots:

Anyway, the competition was pretty awesome and I met a few cool people. I was too knackered to snowboard afterwards so went and got pissed instead
I did actually go for a couple of hours the next day and managed to nail the wall ride with some new tricks in my hung over state.
Sunday night I went to possibly the most random gig ever. My friend Vicki Mac was playing at a pub called the Locomotive. It turns out that the first Sunday night of every month is 'Reptile night' at the Locomotive. That means there is a weird woman in the corner of the pub with a load of tupperware boxes of various sizes containing snakes and lizards. Vicki is terrified of snakes. She managed to do pretty well but when they brought a python out she had to stop. Poor girl. There were also three very drunk locals in there who meant I had to pretend to be Vicki's boyfriend. One of them declared I looked like Brad Pitt (?) and then later in the night he decided I looked like "a good looking Liam Gallagher". Ha! Random.
