Hey all, stress days hopefully slightly in the past so we'll start over.

To those new to the blogspot lifestyle, ie this website, each new post appears at the top so it is basically read in reverse, most recent post at the top style. All pictures can be made 'proper size' by clicking on them (once dad).

Got out snowbaording yesterday for a couple of hours before work, boss wasn't happy, we screamed blue murder at each other for about 10 minutes and both stormed off, but had a good laugh about it this morning. Nice to get the weeks tensions out in the air.

It was worth it though, got 180 hops dialled, and tried a few 180 nose spins but crashed and burned.

Powder is amazing out here at the moment, deep fluffy, and if you crash you're buried up to your waist which takes some escaping from when you're attatched to a board.

Arran, my flatmates van, on a road, to Geneve.

The slopes by Les Gets. Empty for once. not often like this.

Originally to be called snowzine, then changed to vanzine, then I think the best choice would be, impossiblebadluckzine.

Back from another day of van carnage, the episodes continue.
Much else happens in Les Gets, but seemingly not to me.

I'll leave that for a moment. Les Gets is fantastic, the snow is fantastic, the nights are blurry and the boarding is progressing.

But back to the important stuff. Carnage. 4 vans ruined in 1 week. nice.
Saturday it seemed fun to cross a road in my vehicle in front of another 'white van man', he gave me a love tap. 2 written off vans.

Tuesday, hit the motorway, the engine hits the motorway shortly after. Didn't need it anyway.

Friday today. Van gets stuck, comedy ensues to be explained later. get to Geneva, engine number 2 goes in a road full of black smoke. While i chat to insurance company my bag gets nicked from the van containing sat nav, cd's, and worst of all, camera, bling.

Anyhow, i'm trying to get the pictures i'd already taken onto here, but the upload is barely moving so ill do what I can, just words for now though.
