Spin out

After 10 years of driving I experienced my first ever crash recently. Whilst heading for a ski area to get a spot of snowboarding in, I skidded on compacted snow and ice and lost control of the car. We swerved across the road and eventually spun into a snow wall causing some damage to the left side of my car.

Luckily there were no other cars coming and we were all bracing ourselves preparing for the impact. That rock in the corner of the photo is what we hit, damn that rock!

This photo was taken after the bump, I am laughing out of shock and Sam is laughing because he took the brunt of the impact. The damage doesn't really look that bad in the photo but the car has now been in the garage for a week so it's not looking good. At this time I am still waiting to find out the cost of the repairs, lets hope it's not too expensive.

We didn't want the crash to spoil our day so decided to continue onwards for some snowboard action.
