Home again!

Just a quickie status report while I unpack and eat all the sweets intended for the vultures at work... * Garmin says myself and the board have travelled about 136K on the snow, including the lifts, but as I forgot to press the on button a few times I'm guessing it's really closer to 150. * There's a vague pain in my throat/sinuses. Or maybe the ears, I don't think they appreciated all the pressure changes with flights and going up and down mountains all week so I hope the flu symptoms go away once they realise I'm going to stay put at sea level. * I've finally realised why snowboarders get a trance-like look about them when it snows - powder rules!!! * Marathon training does absolutely nothing for the board muscles - I can't even lift my right foot to put on a sock. Bah. * I need to take French lessons! Not much fun to realise you're being laughed at when yawning while ordering coffee but can't give a witty reply.... * There will be no 30K today. Will focus on smoothies & ice cream instead. See point 2 above.
