In the Uk this year we have really been lacking snow so to make up for this, here is a video from Turtle who lives in Liechtenstein. Lots of steep snow covered trails, the slids are pretty cool. Enjoy

On saturday Robert and I took a trip to Edale in the hope of filming for a new video, although as we got there we discovered that it was covered in over a foot of snow in places, so we gave up on the idea of a video and decided to make the most of being there anyway. We started it off finding a steep hillside with a very deep patch of snow running down it, this is how that went: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IoIPoNxZoo

We then came back to the car for some half time bacon and headed back out towards Jacob's ladder, after a tiring slippery walk up we started to head back down the path, with many falls but plenty of encouragement from passing walkers and mtbers we made it down alive!

Claire Page, daughter of sponsored rider Julian Page,  made good use of all the snow over the weekend. She built this rather impressive snowman and got it to hold her trials unicycle! Not much use when it melted but brilliant while it lasted!!

Container arrives... on the wrong type of trailer. Oh well, get on with it. Container reverses on to estate, slides and gets stuck, blocking the main entrance to the estate. After lots of huffing and puffing and breaking of shovels (thanks Nick), we decide to unload the container thereon the ice!

Lots and lots of lifting, walking, pushing and moving to empty the container. We did try getting some help to move the truck.. he failed! The heavy duty shunt lorry also failed and got stuck on the gate as well. Thewhole lot did not get moved for 8 hours.

This is one container we will certainly remember!
