As I mentioned Jamie and I went to Castleford on Friday afternoon to sample some real snow before Morzine. Got there about 2pm and hoped to get on for 2 hours before they shut the slope down for maintenance for an hour.
The place was choc-a-bloc, in fact when we got to the front of the queue we were told that the earlist we could get on was 5pm because it was fully booked! Jamie used some of his charm and we managed to get on but only for an hour from 3pm until 4pm and spent most of the time queuing for the lifts.
I think we managed to get about 6 or 7 runs in, which is a bit expensive bearing in mind it was £21 to get in, plus the petrol to get there.
I did managed to get my linked turns sorted and was very happy with the new board and bindings and even managed to get on the rail for my last run but took a tumble off the end, Jamie was having lift problems until he realised that he should have been using the right hand side lift. All in all I think it was a good crack and might try and get down again when it's not so busy.
