I found Mim!!!!
Another 6:30AM start, for Josh, James and myself, but much rejoicing was had with more familiar faces.
Lucky for us as our groups were being sorted I found a short young blonde lady, by pure chance I saw Mim (a very good friend of my girlfriend) in the other group a few requests later and she was able to join us for the days lessons. The early morning lesson really let us capitalise on the previous days efforts we were now turning and really making headway down the mountain. It was also great to chat to Mim and catch up.
During lunch I managed to catch up with Mim’s crew, Kirsten, Helena, Jo, and a few other’s I didn’t really know. Was a good time of laughter and fun. But as time marched on our next lesson beckoned. This became my undoing.
The previous instructor after examining my style recommended I change to "Goofy" footing on the snow board, meaning the lead foot down the mountain would now change from my left to my right. I really strugled with the change and managed a fair few decent stacks leaving my ass sore and my hand a little tender from a complete forward rolling stack. Licking my wounds I left the mountain on the last bus, but not before arranging to meet with Mim/Kirsten and crew at Winnies Gourmet Pizza place.
We had MANY drinks and the pizza was fantastic, the other notable thing about Winnies is periodically the roof opens up to reveal the night sky and cool the place down, it’s a hot bar. As Mim and crew walked in I grabbed Mim randomly and pulled her to one side worrying her friends until they realised it was me. So we partied on through the night with Mim and Kirsten as their other friends were tired and left shortly after arriving. Kirsten let me send two SMS’s to Vikki, the first contact I had made since I left. Shortly after this a number of inappropriate messages were sent to Kirsten’s new suitor finshing with a laugh and a much needed save of face on her part. Thats brings me to now, a little tipsy and alot tired. Peace Out.
