                    <description>Hi everyoneFirst of all how shocking that we haven't blogged for so long It is a good idea when you first set one up but finding the time to write them is quite difficult.Well i can say that we are both Level 1 snowboard instructors having passed our 3 day assessment in week 5. Sarah has gone on to study for her Level 2 while I have decided to concentrate on my own riding and to do the 'AMP' c</description>

                    <description>Hi guysIt's been a great week and we are enjoying a relaxing weekend. Thursday was a great day for boarding with fantastic sunny weather but not so much as to melt the snow. We both started the day with our private lesson and continued practised what we had learned for the rest of the day. The evening entertainment was tobogganing for Valentine's Day. This meant going down the nursery slope in </description>

                    <description>Hi guysIt's a poor show but it's been a while since we've written esp. from me adam We finished our week of Pow on good form with instructor Glen with the usual Thirsty Thursday drinks in the resort Griz bar. This was followed by a lift home by Glen in his huge truck doing doughnuts in the car park in the snow The weekend was full with an avalanche safety course the first day being class ba</description>

                    <description>Hello allAs you can see from the title the powder has arrived and it just keeps coming. We have a new instructor this week Glenn. And with 2 Adams in my class there are plenty of opporutunities for talking about Adam and Glen as if I was at home. Glenn has a different teaching style to Jay which basically involves finding sheer cliffs covered in powder and shooting down them at speed. This resu</description>

                    <description>Hi Last night it snowed 30cms so today has been our first big powder day or Pow day as they say here. Yesterday was Australia day and there was a bit of a party on the hill. Lots of people in costume on the slopes and the cardboard derby which was pretty funny to watch. Had a yummy Amarula hot chocolate at the end of the day in the Griz bar and then went for dinner with a bunch of guys to Edge o</description>

                    <description>Howdy Sorry we've not written for a couple of days. Last lesson of the week was on Thursday and the weather was as cold as ever. Got another frostbitten nose and got very chilly toes. Have found the wonders of toe warmers which you can stick to your socks to keep your toes cosy they are amazing. Spent half of our lesson learning to ride switch fakie  your back foot forwards which is not at al</description>

                    <description>Hello againToday was the second on the mountain and it was just as fun and just as cold as the first. We are being properly instructed on our technique now that our snow legs are back and we've been taken back to basics. We have been looking at our set up and starting to make adjustments and feel the difference it makes to our riding. I can really see how we are going to move on loads during our</description>

                    <description>Hi there Sarah here Today was the first day on the mountain and it was ace. The terrain here is really varied and there seems to be loads of places to explore. Great groomed runs for speed sweet tracks between the trees and some seriously steep looking bowls just waiting for the next drop of powder. It was damned cold though about minus 18 up the mountain today and I started losing all feeling</description>
