With the advent of global
warming and mega changes in weather systems, it is now possible to enjoy
winter sports all year around. The
second round of the Snowboard European Cup will be held in the
highlands. Unfortunately, British hopeful Hamish McCallum-McKenna,
the 2004 ladies champion, was separated from her snowboard during
practice (see left).

| Paramedics were quickly on the scene and
revived her with a battered Snicker and hot toddy. 2004 was the worst year in the sports
history for injuries, falls, and general poor boarding. Irish
champion Micky Finn put it down to being slippy out there.
Men's
current champion Tommy Thomass Thomassen, from Finland, believes this
season will be much improved with "everybody getting their shit
together". |
