Plooka.com - A Season in Video Part 1

The excitement and feeling of the first ride of the day, the adrenaline starting, the sun shining the fresh air hitting the back of your throat. It's going to be a great one!

The Board Park at Deux Alpes, and some rude jumps, making new friends, great friends, having great times. This is everything a ski season is all about..

4 Months of this is going to be amazing, life is good, and feeling on top of the world!

Early Season - Part 2

Training week, getting to know people and staying in a cool chalet in an alpine village! Learning the ropes, cooking, cleaning, entertaining, and testing out everyones drinking prowess...

The First snowman of the year, learning the resort, the cheats, the best lifts, and finding the secret runs, getting on the Piste with friends, seeing whos going to go hard!

Looking out your bedroom window and seeing deep snow and blue skies! Feeling on top of the world!

Time for some Riding - Part 3

Strapping in to your board with your mates and getting ready to hit the piste. Getting your snow feet, easing past the crowds and seeking out the backcountry.

This is the essence of a ski season, getting on it, having fun, pushing yourself, hanging with mates, breaking stuff, learning stuff. Making stories to recall in the pub.

After a good day, skiing down to your place, pulling your gear off, the final walk, and a sleep before the pub.

You can't ride everyday - Part 4

You can't spend every day on the mountain, so sometimes it's nice just to get together with some mates, grab some beers and just chilling out. Building a kicker, and just messing around, making sure you don;t break your neck!

Perhaps getting a little too drunk sometimes!

The shame of the final fall :)

The End of the Season - Part 5

5 months can just go too quick! The mountain has been mastered, the hardest runs are now the best known, and your riding buddies have been through it all with you.

A moment to yourself to take it all in, and then back on it. Enjoy every moment, appreciate every second!

Checking out the board park, dreaming of hitting the biggest best kickers, but accepting that perhaps this time it was just a bit to far out of reach...
