Every year Steve goes off snowboarding with a group of friends and usually comes back needing a holiday to recover!!
This year he teamed up with a group of slightly more seasoned individuals, whose abilities seem to have rubbed off somewhat, well what can we say… nice grab!!
But did he land it? Only he knows the answer to that one…
Steve adds: This years expedition was to Alpe D’Huez in France. Verdict: Nice slopes, cable cars, very challenging black runs for the daring and an excellent boardercross park for the more competent a rider. Wouldn’t go there this late on in the season again as the aprés-ski was a bit dull and the snow wasn’t at its best. Good resort overall with a multitude of possibilities for escaping those zig-zagging slow ski schools and beginners! (I know we all have to start somewhere but it is nice to get from the top to the bottom without stopping once in a while!!) Good off-piste with lots of jump opportunities to look for.
