It's Dumping In Tignes!

Man - Tignes is only a week away and it looks like there's loads of the white stuff! There's sure to be a great base by time we get there - I just hope there is still fresh snow falling as well.

I've had zero powder days this year (out of 14 days riding). It would be typical that now I've sold (or 'about to sell' at the time of writing this) the longer Anthem, my next holiday will be full of fresh snow...

Still, I'm sure that my 152 Kink will do me good.

Speaking of equipment, I've just traded my Burton Cartel bindings for some new Drake Mikey leBlancs. I wanna try riding with some no-nonsense bindings - I just hope I don't miss the toe strap too much. Here's my current setup:

  • Ride Kink 152
  • Mikey leBlanc bindings
  • Lashed Thirty Two boots
[And some pretty decent outwear :-) Well, I like it anyway]

I plan on doing a review of the accommodation in Tigens when I get back. I'll try to do a quick one this week before I go of the apartment we stayed in during January in Meribel; otherwise I'll never get around to it.
