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 and I’d take some pics for him. He had a spare spot for a tandem so Dave got to paraglide while I drove down the road. This first pic shows a run we skied in the morning (Backbowls) in red and Dave and Shai getting ready to take off on the other side of the ridgeline. Lake Wanaka is covered in cloud/fog in the background.
We had dinner with Sam Neill last Sunday and Shai took Dave over to check out his house.
Looking/flying over the basin. Remarks road on the opposite side… that seems familiar – ow yes now I remember, that was part of Monday’s activities.
