Trip to Mount Hood

So we are excitedly waiting for Will to arrive home tomorrow from Saas Fee.
He's been having a great time out there. There weather hasnt always been good enough to get up the mountain snowboarding, but he's been climbing, downhill scootering, swimming , skateboarding and just having fun.

He's stoked to have mastered his 720 spins though , in the little time they've had on the snow. Then its a quick turn around with washing and packing as Will and I are heading over to the States for Will to take part in session 6 of the High Cascade snowboard camp over on Mount Hood.
Its the first time I've been able to take Will away snowboarding as most of his trips are in school time.
I'm unsure of access to the internet though whilst we are out there so it may be a few weeks before our next update.

Saas Fee trip

Yesterday saw Will flying off to Switzerland to spend a couple of weeks with the Park and Pipe team. He sounds like he's having a blast riding the glacier in the morning and then mucking about skateboarding or swimming in the afternoon.
Saas fee is a really lovely place to spend with a bunch of friends having fun. We certainly enjoyed it when we all went a few years ago, so hopefully Will will do so again .

Riding with Gigi Rüf

Will and his Dad are away at Spring Break in Kaunertal , Austria this week. It's been a real blast for them both and Will has loved every minute . He's ridden  in the winning team for the Whitelines rail jam on Sunday, then on Monday he  came 5th overall and won the under 16 category for the Dragon Methodical madness competition. Will also got to meet and ride with  snowboarding superstar Gigi  Rüf which  he is stoked with ! Overall this trip has been a chance to ride with lots of old friends and make plenty of new ones too.

Sports Aid Award

So Will went up to Nottingham yesterday with permission from school, to collect his Sports Aid award. This is precious money to go towards the costs of Will's snowboard training. It is in recognition of his snowboarding talent and potential and is as a result of Will being nominated by his Park and Pipe coaches.

The day was a blend of workshops on healthy eating and media awareness as well as being presented with his award. The Olympic Gold medal canoeist Tim Baillie was there to chat and give advice to all 32 talented young sports men and women. It was wonderful to see main stream to the more diverse sports being represented by a wonderful group of young people. In all a tiring but rewarding day..

Treeline Chalet Trip

 Will has just come back from an ace week to Morzine as the guests of Treeline Chalets as part of his sponsorship with TSA and CLWR. He went out with Sam Nelson ,Team manager of CLWR and Dragon and rode with fellow CLWR  and TSA rider Jamie Trinder and a whole host of other snowboarding buddies. Whilst they were our there Will and Jamie competed in The Stash Gathering Competition which ended with Will getting first in the under 14 category and Jamie getting second overall .Will had a wonderful time away thanks to TSA, CLWR and Treeline.Hopefully there will be a little edit coming soon showing Will and Jamie riding in Morzine ,France.
