Chris and Lisa are in town and it is time to payback all that Karma from my Aussie trip. ‘Post Schnapps’ up in the back country. Another pic from that day. You can watch all the shenanigans in the movie I compliled – click here to download the video. Gordon is here as well. Unfortunately, Gordy is not well after breaking his wrist today. Pre-broken wrist, this … Continue reading Chris and Lisa and Gordon
Cole is always a great host in San Fran and it was great to have him out for a week in CO. Here are some of the best pics I have of Cole skiing. If he was a knuckle dragger, there would be paragraphs of abuse, instead I’ll just get this bit over and done with….. Those pics bring back some memories from the first time … Continue reading Cole’s Trip
If only this was a ‘Doris’s of 2009’ post….. However, today’s threesome was downhill skiing, x-country skiing and snowmobiling. Later in the season I’d like to try the fivesome…. downhill skiing, x-country skiing, snowmobiling, kite skiing and ice hockey in a day. Al and Jarisse have been kind enuf to make me feel like part of their family over the Xmas period yet again. Here … Continue reading Threesome
This is Al’s idea – he does the $1,000 burger when he takes his plane for a spin somewhere and grabs a burger. Today I took the sled out for the $100 burger (feels like I’ve been on it more than skis but I skied 4 days last week). The MO is… park at Vail Pass, drive 20 miles on beautiful groomed snowmobile dedicated run over to a … Continue reading $100 Burger
That is what I heard…. this is what I saw….. Continue reading Whoomf
Back in Colorado now and this is the last of the pics that I wanted to add from my 10 weeks in the sun. Starting off with some backyard cricket. Catches win matches…… Vancouver Grants birthday and the last day of Mo’vember. I am told this first foto was staged…. but it could be me falling over, it could be Nicole’s leg support me or … Continue reading Spring Sabbatical
The southern winter has come to an end and I’m now on a Spring Sabatical. A trip to the West Coast with the boys kicked spring off….. The whitebaiting crew…. Mush, Rocky and Vinchenzo. I’m diagnosing myself with A.D.D. – how can you concentrate when you see snow and the ocean? Someone suggested… “I reckon we can drive down the pier.” I volunteered to take the foto. I … Continue reading Spring Sabatical
Last couple of days have been gorgeous…. the snow has been rock hard though so it required some creativity. A road trip to Ohau was on the cards with the crew and Paul and Caitriona – nearly broke the subi but it will live on (unfortunately). A couple of pics from Ohau – this place is just terrible. Today the subi had to go in … Continue reading Ohau I love to ski
Matty O, Ching Chong/Ping Pong and Craig are over for a week or more. Here are some pics taken today up high at Remarks. How else would you finish a day off like today? Continue reading An Aussie, a ginga and a chink
This is my 2nd attemp at posting these photos….. the winter has just started (well it rained today so it isn’t all roses and powder flakes). I’m busy as hell with work and I haven’t played half as much golf as I have wanted and the snow just hasn’t delivered this year. I can’t complain though as I’m living in a Mosad safe house, the Chateau … Continue reading Pre Season
The winter is just about to begin (now that school holidays is finally over) and the troops start arriving today. Here are some photos I’ve taken since I got to Queenstown nearly 2 months ago now. Malcome and I shot up the Routeburn as we heard the waterfall had frozen…. That is the valley we walked up. And that is our ride back to the … Continue reading Tramping
This will just be a collection of photos taken late in the season. My last stop before Queenstown was with Mr and Mrs Ryan in their beautiful home in San Francisco (sorry G – you did say “I do” so you are now Mrs Ryan although I don’t have the balls to call you that in person). This trip Cole took me on a ride … Continue reading Late Season
