Long legs and short skirts can only mean one thing – I’m back on the Central NSW Coast in Terrigal. Last day in Terrigal and I was up early, sitting on the deck working and although I can see the ocean I thought I could find a better ‘office’ for the day. Headed south about 10kms and found a better office….. First time I’ve been … Continue reading Long skirts and short legs
Ski Cooper is a wee little ski field (unlike me – I should work on that winter coat of mine…. hahahaha) about 45 miles from my place – the lifts are short and it is pretty flat – sounds just like a Japanese Doris or a Japanese ski area – hehehe. And just like Japan – it had better snow than anywhere else in Colorado this winter. It was Adam … Continue reading Ski Cooper
There is not a whole lot to write here. The “Double Dave’s” hiked up above the highest chair in Nth America faster than I expected. This is the boys walking up. Sandos getting a big recovery. Onions looking just as graceful in the air. And some spring skiing carve turns. Continue reading Dave(s) @ Breck
This year has been a tough one snow wise but being Colorado – if it isn’t snowing, it is sunny. The snow up high, and on the steeper slopes is holding up pretty well. Hence the concept of – ‘Double Diamond Dave’. There is nothing here that is too tough to ski BUT the slick conditions and the exposure kinda means you don’t want to … Continue reading Double Diamond Dave
If ‘Little Spoon’ is a spoon in the western world…. what does that make him in the east? The only way to confirm or deny would be to ask his little Japanese neighbour girls what they think… and they giggle a lot whenever we’ve seen them. Nervous giggles…. Little Spoon has a great pad and this is the view from his window. Japanese girls live just … Continue reading Litte Chop Stick?
Paul and Caitriona can’t spend a few weeks in Colorado without going snowmobiling. After skiing one day we took Poly up to the wee little town of Montezuma to take her for a spin. Nice work Caitriona…. Then Paul, Chris V and Galynn thought a Vail Pass mission was in order. A couple of pics of me getting Poly off….. First off, I towed these … Continue reading Poly the Snowmobile
I’ve said it time and time again – I LOVE MONDAYS!!!!! The 1st Monday of 2012 was awesome and today, the 2nd Monday of the month, was amazing as well. The Hutchinsons and I shot over to Beaver Creek – to go down on the Beaver of course. Lots of Beaver jokes, a couple of the classics include Caitriona saying she is open minded when … Continue reading Mondays……
Paul and Caitriona arrived a few days before Xmas and this is their first time in North America. They are here for the skiing and they are getting used to how we ski here in the north…….. Caitriona and I decided to use her Irish heritage and my ‘shackle dragger’ heritage to take over the kiddy castle…… Down with the English!!!! The Irish Hobbit Queen … Continue reading Hutchinsons in America
Large as life & twice as ugly!!!! Arrived back in Keystone on Thanksgiving evening to a full house. I couldn’t think of a better way to arrive back ‘home’ after 6 months; to a house smelling of turkey, booze and full of people. Since then it has been full on. Testing out the Aussie accent at the local watering holes (no wonder they only let me stay … Continue reading I’m back
There wasn’t much snow up high this season and as such I didn’t get as much touring in as I had hoped (the Grand Couloir will have to wait for another year). So when AJ called saying he was interest in a post season ski on the peak I was keen to dust off the skins (100% baby seal) and have one last day of … Continue reading Out of Season Ski
Last weekend a few of the boys and I headed over to Jacksons Bay on our annual ‘Whitebaiting Trip’. Since we’ve never caught much whitebait, there was a rumour about town that we never went whitebaiting and really went to Vegas for a few days. In years past, I’ve been able to name each individual whitebait that I caught….. not this year. For those of you who don’t know … Continue reading Queenstown Kunts
This will be a bunch of pics from Spring – there will have to be some more posts here but with daylight savings and some stunning days I’m trying to give all the toys a run. Last Tuesday I went for a ski, paraglide, mountain bike ride, a swim, tennis was cancelled so I got in a quick 9 holes instead. Start things off with … Continue reading Spring
