snowboarding season 08/09
Due to the later date of easter this year we had a rather long season this year. I started snowboarding on 2008-12-06 and stopped today 2009-04-19.
Following up on previous entries here is the balance sheet:
| 2005/06 | 2006/07 | 2007/08 | 2008/09 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| number of (partial) days | 25 | 17 | 29 | 37 |

| Diedamskopf | 15 | 4 | 24 | 23 |
| Warth/Schröcken | 0 | 3 | 0 | 4 |
| total meters of altitude | 124634 | 74096 | 219936 | 226774 |
| highscore | 10247m | 8321m | 12108m | 11272m |
| # of runs | 309 | 189 | 503 | 551 |
In the second half of the season we actually had a lot of snow, up two 130 cm down at 800m above sealevel. Complete snow cover lasted from December until mid of April.
Riding was good, I did not have any major injury, my skills did not increase though. The addition of a snowboard, a SG Speed 173 to my quiver worked out well. Loads of fun and less danger in slushy conditions (nose-in) compared to the shorter slalom board.
Now the waiting starts. ;-)
