This last week me (tom), the midget (mick), the fit one (tuai) and the wise old one (bazzer) drove out to austria to get wild in the fresh pow.  The drive there sucked, 27 hours of sore ass horn beeping heaven. We were gona be staying with mountainboard legend and king of portugal Alex Broumbass, but i had forgot to get his number or  find out were he lived, we knew it was somewere in a village called Ellmau, so thats were we headed. We found the king later that evening looking kinda like a bear crossed with a snowboarding tramp, got setteled down in his pad, had a few schnapps then hit the sack.  Got up well early to get our boards sorted (big up “Freaks on Snow” for that!) bought a few lift passes then hit the slopes, this was the second time the fit one had ever stood on one of them slippery boards, the first time being in england a few weeks before but he picked it up pretty fast an we ended up at the park by the end of the day. That evening we dined like kings courtesy of Simone the queen of Portugal, and after tea we set up some lights out the back an sessioned the worlds smallest snowpark, well fun.

we spent the next few days getting up early and spending the whole day out in the mountains, we hit some amazing pow through the trees and found a windlip which got had, frontflips (the midget landed everything first try), backflips, rodeos, corked 5’s and some sick stacks. By the end of the week we were ready to throttel the next skier that tried to snake us in the lift queue, Mick had got stuck upsidedown in  tree, and we had found a dead mouse. One night Alex and the freaks had to do a demo in the village so we went to watch, it was one of the weirdest things id ever seen, there was formation skiing, an ald old man drinkin schnapps an riding wooden skies then alex and his crew shreading the hill in some well weird clothes, anyway, i cooked that night an we had a few drinks then hit the houses little park again.

Our lift pases ran out with one day to spare so we set about re-shaping the park outside an had a sweet day of jibbing about. We left the next day after saying our good byes after swaping a snowboard for the promise of a crate of vegemite. The drive home was as bad as the one there, I dont think ive ever been in as many trafic jams in my life we ended up avreging 40mph over a 2100 mile drive that was mostly motoway, but it was well worth it i tell ya!

big thanks to Alex and the freaks for making our stay so delightfull.
