One last trip and hacked!

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Just rocked back here to post a quick message. I’m off for one last snowboarding trip this season, heading back to trusty Cervinia. Should be a good trip. The snow is looking awesome for this late in the season.

Cervinia weekends - first turns of the season

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

I’ve just had the pleasure of back-to-back weekend trips snowboarding in Cervinia.

I thought I’d share these with you in case anyone else is heading over, and give me easy access to the […]
