Aggressive Alpine Skiing

Picture 80936, originally uploaded by John Foong.

So, this weekend we had the Business School Christian Fellowship Retreat ... in the snow at Squaw Valley (where they had the winter olympics in 1960). Of course, when you're a hopeless snowboarding beginner like myself, that doesn't really matter - I just kind of stay on the beginner slopes. And even that didn't prevent me from slightly hurting myself ... enough to convince myself to stay home on Sunday and watch movies / sleep in instead ...

This shot is taken from 8,700 feet! Which is almost 3 kilometres above sea level. I'm king of the world! Geographically. And briefly. :)

Btw if you're bored / missing the snow, head to http://www.mausland.de/swf/228 ... it's this silly little flash game when you have to ski ... agressively. See if you can beat my top score of around 4,000 ...
