A few photos to say good-bye to the season 2010-2011 (:

Post by hugo » Thursday 7 April 2011, 1:12

In honour of the nearly closing 2010/2011 season.
(in Russian available - viewtopic.php?p=98079#98079)

We did not take a video camera with us, so for you - pictures only. Sorry guys (:

We dared...boldly to leave the glorious city of Saint-Petersburg on a weekday, and went for a mini SWOARD Contest to our home hill at Korobitsyno.
The slopes were absolutely deserted - one could be spoiled by a nice velvet even till twilight.
We cut the slopes nearly to the grass, to the delight of our SWOARDies, and to the surprise of the public.

Participants:
Natasha (Salomeya)
Sergey (Hugo)

And, of course:
SWOARD 161S
SWOARD 175M

We wish you a great summer (:

Thank you very much!
Arnaud, I remember every minute of your master-class and try to realize it. Every time I'm on the slope I hear your words.
Being in Zinal became a great push for me and now I try to make pull:)))

On Bomber there was nice idea about comparision of your age and days on slope.
So if you got more days on slope, without doing that as job, then you are lucky one.
And yes i'm lucky one
