Whole lotta snowboarding and the Hospital Gala Fund Raiser

I have now entered into only 2 days per week of work! (WOOHOO)

So last week i only worked Wednesday and got to snowboard Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Friday Night and Saturday!

On Saturday i got to board with the Instructor from my instructor course and basically got a free lesson from him :) Ron is a champ, Got me working on my steering and technique. Was very helpful!

THere has been 77cm of snow in the last 7 days and its still coming! Loving it! Its all starting to come now! :D

I was invited by my good friend Raquel to goto the Hospital fund raiser Gala with her.

They had a band called "The Timebenders" playing later in the night and they were really cool. They started off playing some hits from the 50's and progressed through to the 2000's with about 6-7 costume changes throughout the show.
They put on a great show and played the songs awesomely!

So there was a dress up theme for Timebenders and we went as the 50's. - Greaser style!

Slick the hair back pose :P

Raquel works for BMO (Bank of Montreal) and they covered the tickets (which were like $180 each)
BMO also sponsors the Martini bar for the start of the night. So after getting there we loaded up on Martini's I had about 5 in the space of 1.5hrs, and worked it out to be roughly 11-12 shots hahaha.

Was pretty tipsy for dinner, then paced myself out over dinner with a glass of wine.

It was a 3 course meal with this cool prawn and asparagus salad for starters, Then a steak and salmon main and dessert was a chocolate Banana mousse that was very yummy!!!

There was a live auction with some great things like a 1 hour jet fighter flight (which went for 10k) and a 4 day heli ski package with CMH.

I met a bunch of people and partied and danced with the people from BMO, all very lovely and Marino (who is part of the investments team) Bought me a few drinks later in the night :) So awesome night with minimal spendings hahaha.

Great times!

Working Sunday and Monday then onto my next 5 day stint of snowboarding!!
Probably wont be putting any video's up from the last few days snowboarding cause the weather has been pretty average, but see how we go!
