18th January, 2003

I'm not snowboarding at the moment. Specifically I'm not going today because it hasn't snowed for a while, because it costs extra to go at the weekends (we have season passes, but only for weekdays), because I'm still a little bit injured from doing a stoopid thing over a jump on Wednesday, and because I've got the hangover from hell raging around inside my head right now. First, the snow. None since Monday, but conditions on the hill are okay as it's remained cold and we haven't had rain. Forecast says Sunday, fingers crossed. Second, injury. We had a lesson on Wednesday which went great, until right at the end when I went over a jump a little too fast. Landed in a bit of a heap and seem to have twisted both ankles, my knee, and banged my elbow. Comprehensive, no? Third, hangover. We did a bit of a bar crawl last night because Ivy is thinking about opening a bar in a snowboard resort, so getting drunk was "research". It was also Friday night so we didn't need a better excuse than that. This photo is from my trip last weekend. The view is from Andy and Becks' window out across False Creek towards Vancouver's West Side.
