This last week has involved some more serious skiing with Cole and Richard in town. Lots of hiking and these guys have showed me a few new spots. I’ll expand on this post as I get the footage online – I think it is going to be a big one. Here is the Little Master himself…. Richard is normally behind the camera but this time … Continue reading Skiing with Dinosaurs
Today is Tuesday and I’m a fan of Tuesday’s. The 2 Dave’s and I were up at Remarks working on our steep powder skiing and the conditions were playing along. There was one jump which we got some footage of and things just worked out that everyone got filmed skiing this – the jump is at the bottom of the East Face and if you … Continue reading Best day of the season thus far….
Today is Friday and the weather is really crapping out – this is going to be a massive dump by the time this system is through. Concrete was shut and most of Remarks was too – golf was out of the question with the rain so a drive down to the Greenstone Track was one of the remaining options. Amy joined Dave the Sailor and … Continue reading Chasing Waterfalls
It is August now and I haven’t done enuf man skiing – not that only men can do it (there was a smokin’ hot red head who was ripping Diangulation today). Dave the Sailor and I got some footage which we’ll edit up and put online but for the time being here are a few pics. Tomorrow will be more of the same with Dirty … Continue reading Time for some MAN skiing
Last week was a massive week. Dave was looking after some Doris’, we did a bit of skiing, played a bit of golf and had more nights out on the piss in a row than I can remember (I actually can’t remember parts of Tuesday morning or Saturday morning for that matter). Saturday was a bit of a recovery day (after getting home at 5:15am) but … Continue reading Some jetboating pics
After 3 weeks there is some new snow. It was heavy but there was a bit of it so after a 2am finish last night we sacked up for an early morning at Remaks. Shazza from skating is in town and I thought I’d try and see who I could make cry first, Dave or Shazza. We haven’t had many steep runs so far this winter … Continue reading Pow day… finally
Bit of pun there in that title for those who know how to pronounce Ohau (Ow-How). Sunday today and a road trip to Ohau was on offer and was taken up. Dave the Sailor hasn’t skied with AJ yet and this is how he looked after the first hike of the day… Dave is getting old – nearly as old as Jesus I think but … Continue reading Ohau I Love to Ski
Friday was Dave the Sailors birthday – Jesus he is old. Actually he is nearly as old as Jesus. Dave hadn’t skied on his birthday before so we ran the gauntlet of tourists up the Concrete Peak road – best single overtaking move was 7 cars and 2 buses. I gave Shai the Paragliding Guy a call about 10am to see if he was flying … Continue reading Making the most of Friday
Monday… skiing and golf. Tuesday…. hiking. Wednesday… golf at Arrowtown. Another crappy day – ground was a little firm and the company was a bit average but there were no complaints about the weather or the views. Hughie, Dave the Sailor and myself. I have a couple of comments for this pic. Firstly, that bowl in the background is ‘Homeward Bound’ (part of Remarkables) – a … Continue reading Arrowtown Golf Club
After a solid session last night and a 4am bed time Dave the Sailor and I were up early this morning and there is some exploring I’ve been keen to do out at 12 Mile Delta. Rob wasn’t around – most likely due to the two ugly chicks he was messing with. They were ugly…. and I know ugly. The area I wanted to explore … Continue reading Bush bashing
Monday’s are good because everybody else is at work. However it is skool holidays and Dave the Sailor has arrived so I wasn’t sure how Monday was going to work out. I shouldn’t have been worried. Warren Miller got us pumped up last night so we were on the first chair at Remarks. After 3 runs Dave had his legs back so it was time for … Continue reading Skiing + Golf = Another Bloody Monday
After 4 holes of golf the greens were getting a bit too much snow on them to continue. A couple of beers later and it was still puking – so much so I had to chain up at the golf club for the 6km trip home. Here are some pics from this morning – lots of snow and the forecast is predicting 20cms more by … Continue reading First ‘real’ day of winter
