Snow, beautiful snow

Finally got to go snowboarding last weekend. Saturday weather was amazing but the lifts were quite full, sunday was very windy and cold but a lot less people. Unfortunately it got too windy and cold so the lifts got closed. Still had two or three hours of boarding.
I was quite happy that I still remembered how to stand up on a snowboard. This is only my 4th trip to the mountian and the last one was almost a year ago. Still having troubles with my heel turns :( and keep forgetting to use my front foot to turn but I'm learnign quick.
On the subject of quick learners - Kim was trying skiing for the first time. She must be the only sweede who doenst ski or board, but she was picking it up pretty fast. We accidently managed to take her on a blue run instead of a green one and for a while she didnt look too happy. Sorry Kim, hopefully we didnt scare you away from skiing for the rest of your life.
I managed to do a black run a few times. It wasnt any more dangerous, just quite a bit more steap. Had to take my time getting down but it was still a bit of a challenge.
All in all great weekend, cant wait till next trip.

In other news - Kim's laptop has been misbehaving this week. It would randomly power off after booting off a CD. Did some testing and my thought was thats its an overheating issue. Both of our brains combined could not figure out how to take apart the laptop to get to the heatsink/fan and see whats wrong. So plan B was put to action. A vacuum cleaner provided more then enough cooling for the laptop to stay stable, but it would power off 2 minutes after the vacuum cleaner was turned off. At least we got the cause of the problem sorted, now just need to find a better solution :)


Last but not least I am proud to announce that I know one famous person now :) In fact I'm flatting with him. Its a long story so I'll let mr famous himself tell it. HINT: Click the link.
