Chance to update, I'm sat in the apartment recovering from snowboarding whilst the others hit the slopes again!

Had the most almighty wipe out yesterday, caught an edge whilst boarding and went toppling over smacking the back of my head on the snow... ice?

Thankfully I was wearing a helmet otherwise I think I would have been in A&E! Still, it gets worse...

It was quite a bump, my head was spinning and my eye sight was blurred, I could feel liquid trickling out my nose, which I assumed was blood!

But alas, no! When my eyes finally focused in, the liquid was as runny as blood, but it was yellow!

To be honest I was really scared at the time, I thought I'd burst my brain sack or something?

I was in quite a daze, and was desperately pulling everything off such as gloves, wrist guards.... board! hehe which to top it off then shot off down the slope and down into a streams by some trees!

Anyway I survived the night so it couldn't have been all that bad! Although it was St Paddys night too! hehe So the headache wasn't helped by lashings and lashings of Canadian beer! I don't do Guiness!

Had a great night, considering I'm still plagued with jet lag and was half asleep at 7pm and dreading going out! Strangely though I woke up quite quickly! Everyone is SO friendly over here, and genuine too! We were playing pool with the local hill-billies, oh and a guy from Quebec who I just assumed was German for most of the night! Haha

Even got chatting to a local woman who I'm taking out for dinner tomorrow! I think the 'tally-ho' English accent clinched it, plus the fact that I could actually recall her name when asked! lol

Couldn't believe it was 2am by the time we headed off! Thank goodness Paul was sober to drive us home and tuck us up in bed! haha
