Hey everyone.
Sorry I haven't been in contact. I have been very busy and very tired .
We have been going to the gym nearly every afternoon and I tell you I'm deftinately not fit but I'm getting there haha. I bought a couple of things at the outlets. I got two jumpers, two t shirts and a new beanie and I wish I didnt bring so many clothes over because everything is sooooo cheap! Brand jumpers here are 20 bucks and in Australia are about 80. It is great here I am definately getting fit. We hike the pipe every day. In the park I got 360's with a nose grab yesterday but only in the baby park. Just learning but hopefully by the end of the week I will take it to the medium park. The parks here are massive. The baby park is the same as our medium park at Perisher and the medium park here is the same as our big park! Their big parks here are massive and the smallest jump would be about 80ft. Our house is massive and really nice. I share a room with Pride which at the moment is a bit messy but it's due for a clean tonight. Today was our day off and we went shopping and i got my boot fixed because my boa string broke (for anyone who doesnt know what that is its the string that does up my boots). I am having good days and bad . I have been pretty sore from the gym and crashing combined which our hot tub soon fixes . The three of us girls went for a hot tub last night at 10pm and jumped in the snow very cold we took some photos so ill try get some of them from Pride. Today we also went to bubba gump shrimp which was veryyyy yummy .
I can now do 360s perfect out of the pipe. Not in the pipe - Like I exit the pipe by doing a 360. Very fun! Well that's about it and I'll try give u an update tomorrow!
love you all xoxo

Hey all,
I have discovered that mum is freaking out becuase she hasn't heard from me so here it goes..
Today was our 2nd day on snow but 1st full day. I had my 1st day in the pipe and park trying to get my confidence back. I am only currently doing the 1st jump in the medium park but hope to soon get my confidence and get to doing the advanced park which may I say is massssivve. Their medium park is like our front valley advanced = so you can see why I'm scared. We spent the afternoon tuning and waxing our board and eating and now soon to sleep. So that's just a quick update and goodnight everyone!

Hey all,
I'm finally in breckenridge USA!!
From 6 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon I was on planes/ at airports....The plane was fun. With only a few minor hiccups every now and then we got to LA airport which might I add was scorching hot and I was in my singlet . We finally got to Denver when we had to wait an hour for our boards but it was all good because Benny A was on the flight after so we just waited for him .. We got in our awsome streched vans then drove for another two hours. When we arrived Benny in the other van was already at the house and we only had directions which might I add was wrong - thanks google! Benny finally came to find us after an hour and a half of searching in the wrong place then we went to get our food...
Well thats about it and now I have to wait till 12 so I can go to bed because I need to get used to the timezone so
bye bye for now

the day before..
I'm in Sydney. Not so excited for a 5 o'clock rise to get to the airport by 6:30.
On the other hand I'm completely excited about my 5 weeks in Colorado.
Besides the fact I have to leave my friends and family, not to mention my summer holidays I'm totally stoked to be going to Colorado for the awesomest opportunity and ride with some old friends and coach. I've been packing for about 3 weeks now and only finishing this afternoon with the help of my friend Casey ha ha - Not so good with the packing system. It's a total disaster that I have to miss out on a week of school but I guess I will live ha ha. Early bed tonight, very big day tomorrow with a massive plane trip which I'm very excited about because I love planes!!
Hope to check out the town of Breckenridge - the town I'll be living in for my 5 weeks . I don't know how much time I have to be blogging while I'm over there but I'll try to make time for it
well I'm off for an early night so I'll try blog as soon as I can.

Day 5 - Girls get to Cheer the boys on
With the Girls Slopestyle being run yesterday instead of today - just had to cheer the boys on with their finals for Slopestyle. Have attached a photo of the boys doing Gravity X (Boardercross) to show how much fun it is. Only Pipe and Parrallel Slalom to go tomorrow. Pipe is huge! Walls are 22' here where Perisher walls are 14'. Another first will be, I have never done Parrallel GS before. Should be an interesting and fun day!
