Andorra Ski Trip

My first ever ski trip. Andorra 1987.  No lessons.  No sun cream.  No idea.  Great laugh.  Here's Jimmer and Neal hacking down the late season piste.

Soaking up the rays...Les, Jimmer, Neal, Phil, Mike and Mark...

The combination of red hot Andorran sun and no sun cream made one very red Philler...

That's me and Mike on our first ever ski run...a Red!  We didn't stay up right for long.

Great fun and the start of many future ski and snowboard trips.

Motor Snowboarding

Matt Horne, Mike Barham and me took my old MKI Escort up to Stoughton in the snow.  Here's Matt and me mucking about in the snow.
