Some of you that know me will know I have some interesting hobbies ... Scuba diving and Snowboarding!

Had a chance to take some quality time off a little while after the MVP summit took place, so headed to the French Alps, Chamonix, and enjoyed 3 full days of snowboarding on the glorious white stuff!

This year my skills came together, feel a lot more solid on that board and able to keep up most of the time. Didn't go as far as trying 360's, 1080's or forward\backward flips while whooping mid-air, but got a real rush from nosing down the slopes at terminal velocity (well not quite!).

A friend had to take time off from the pistes and as a result had a head-cam sitting around not being used, so I attached it on to the helmet with a not-too-clever bungie type strap and took to the slopes. Here's what I recorded, taken from hours of footage, most of which was pointing at the sky, my board or generally bouncing around too much to make for good video (lesson learnt for next time!):

I plan on going back soon, maybe beginning of April and want to get a good head-cam and solidly attach it to the helmet for some proper HERO (my fiance thinks I'm a HERO, she's right!) action!
