After picking up mountain boarding earlier this year, riding mainly at Ride the Hill in Redhill, Surrey - the natural progression was to book a long break over in the French Alps to experience some 'real' terrain :-) crazy !!

Courchevel is known for it's kick ass winter slopes and the slopes without snow proved a real challenge, Stuart (The Geezer) on his MBS .26 had recently got a brake, quite a good idea !!

Ettienne and myself on NoSno with no brakes found the going a little tougher!  I bashed my arm and missed a day but Ettienne became the 'master of the powerslide' - come on the powerslide ;-)

With only one arm fully functional, I had a go on the MBS .26 and the ride was a lot my enjoyable - can't wait to get a brake on my NoSno!!!

Big thanks to the guys over at www.pleisure.co.uk who put us up in one of their chalets at great rates and great service - highly recommended :-) we will be back for some snowboard action soon!!

Have caught some of the action below, the DVCam was set to the wrong focus - opps!
