Getting my Skis!

Replay Sports is simply the best sports shop I have been to...Ever! Purchased my first ever skis and they are amazing! also got my ski boots after trying on nearly every pair in the shop just to make sure they were the right ones for me! If I have to pretty much wear them everyday then I am going to make sure they fit perfectly!

Working off Thanks Giving Weight.

After eating a tonne for my first real American holiday. I decided to go and attempt to get in some kind of good shape to get ready for what is going to be a very physical job at Challenge Aspen. The hike also allowed me to check out the Snowmass Ski Resort, location of the Challenge Aspen office (see second photo)

My First Thanks Giving!

Today was a special day! Mainly due to the fact i consumed my own body weight in food! I have never seen so much food it was incredible. Oh and we had some fun with the GIANT Turkey. Hope the iPhone gives some perspective.

Jet-Lag slumber

After the seriously long travel time to get here to Aspen i then spent nearly 2 days asleep! So the cousin I am staying with: Erika Decides i need some exercise! Well hiking is not easy when you are over 1 mile above sea level. We hiked a trail called Arbony and it gives a pretty good view of the valley.

The Flight: London - New York

Well to start. I have never been one to sleep on a plane. and as this flight was during the day i decided to watch a constant stream of movies for 8 solid hours! In fact a specifically chose Virgin Atlantic so that i could do so. Upon arriving in New York i had 4 hours to kill until my flight over to Denver so i got myself a nice healthy snack... American Style...

By the time i left NYC the sun was setting and made for some amazing pictures, even if i couldnt portray that with my phone.
