It started off so well, with snowconditions no-one had seen/expected in ages (2-3m of fresh snow had fallen) and the most relaxed (right after Europe’s X-mas holidays) week of the year in Val Thorens lied ahead. The snowtrip we had been counting down to, talked about it non-stop, checking snow conditions on a daily basis, new board & bindings, … determined it would become this winter’s highlight … but it ended with a broken shoulder after one of the most ridiculous falls in history :( I mean, I could attempt to tell you I was attempting a spectacular jump, but that just ain’t the case Damn you snow!!!

Now its been 2 weeks that I’ve been more or less locked up at home, doctor’s orders to rest the arm/shoulder. No work & hardly any play means I’m a pretty dull boy right now. At least I’ve come to the point where I can type a couple of sentences efficiently without massive pain. Getting round online one-handedly *pun intended* ain’t all that efficient by the way .

Anyways, collected some of the instagrams we took along the way and hope to hit the slopes once again next year as this season might be too soon considering the projected recovery.
