La Nina, daydreaming and snowboarding
I’ve been daydreaming about snow a lot recently and how I wish I had the funds to go boarding in this epic winter season we seem to by having. Oh to snowboard during the current state of La Nina. Last time I went boarding was in Fernie, BC during the 2004/05 El Niño which led to such mild temperatures the snow was washed away by rain.
Cross-country skiing in Norway – 2007
For my Dads 60th birthday we were lucky enough to be able to make a short trip to Norway as a family. Paddy and I then stayed on a little longer, rented cross country skis and slowly made our way to a lovely little hut in the middle of nowhere. Perfect.
Serious Fun! A 9 month road trip – 2004/05
We had been together for nearly two years living, loving, climbing, surfing and boarding. Summer 2003 was spent slack lining in the loacl park, this gave us a taste for the stress free lifestyle, a plan was hatched, to bunk off work for 9 months (or as long as lasted). The plan, 1. spend the snow season in Fernie relishing the powder days 2. stock up for a trip down the Baja Peninsular surfing, 3. surviving Baja we aimed to tackle the best climbing America had to offer.
