Snow!!!!

Its official, we now have snow at ground level up here and the hill is looking pretty sweet. Was open for the first day of the season on Saturday and from all accounts, minus the poor vis, the snow was awesome and with more of the white stuff falling it should only get better.

Bring on the shred

They do a lot for the local scene, organising compititions, training sessions etc and its rad to see them growing with each season.

Slight problem

Hey.....Made it to Sno!Storm on friday but unfortunately forgot my camera, dumb I know, so didnt manage to get any filming etc done. However the CSC crew turned out in force so thanks to Stevie and Ali for standing on the freezing balcony and getting some footage. Dont really have a big part in this as I was doing my own thing most of the night but check it out anyway....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3FqBBRgtzU

Hopefully get some of my own done soon....and watch this space, I'v been eyeing up some sick local street spots and should hopefully be hitting them up as soon as the snow lands.

Welcome

Hey and welcome to my blogspot!

Iv started this as a place to update whats going on with my snowboarding and to let people know what im doing.

I started snowboarding when I was about 12 and have gradually progressed my riding to get to where I am today. I picked up my first sponsors during the 08/09 season, I ride for Artec Snowboards UK and I am also a part of the TSA (The Snowboard Asylum) Team. Thanks to Jeremy and Jonny for making that possible. My goal in snowboarding is to do it for as long as possible and get as much out of it as I can.

I'll update this as much as possible with new photos, video parts, results etc so keep checking back to be up to date with what im doing.

Thanks for checking me out

Andrew
