Today we made it on time to Cortina. This is Hakuba's Holy Grail for snow boarders with few easy pistes and steep back country runs, dropping through the trees, into the resort from three sides. We all did lots of runs with plenty of powder and indecipherable piste maps that were as likely to lead you to your death as deliver you safely to the vin-chaude.
And whilst on the subject of death, the boys woke a sleeping bear by boarding over his head. Waking bears is not an activity to be undertaken, armed only with a 4 foot piece of fibreglass, particularly by whacking them over the head with it while they are trying to get some kip. You need a big gun to shoot it with when it starts to chase you. Its a job for soldiers, lumberjacks or construction workers.
The whole story is a little vague. There was some chasing and some running away. Someone may have cried like a big girl. Maybe the bear wasn't so tough after all. Fortunately the only shooting was of the 35mm variety. The hard evidence, I hear you cry? A blurry picture that could be a bear.
Or a pinemartin. Its just so hard to be sure.
