This week the weather is supposed to turn it ON!!! Spring so far has been hit and miss – gorgeous day one day then the next I’m still sitting in bed working well into the afternoon. I have a few things lined up this week so I’m going to post some pics each day…. (there are a lot of things that could backfire on this … Continue reading Monday
Richard the Pilot is leaving tomorrow so today the boys took me to some new stuff. As usual things start with a walk…. Then some scenic fotos… I can’t see the pin positions on the golf course for tomorrow (course is the peninsullar that juts out onto the lake) so I’m outta here. Me lining up Intimidator…. First run down here – … Continue reading Last day of man skiing
Right click then select ‘save target as’ on this link. A short compilation of footage – only 3 meg – high res version to come. Continue reading This is the good one folks
Another addition to this post is in order – last night was the 6th big one in a row and the troops are all very quiet so far today. The snow hasn’t been that great the last couple of days and yesterday Dave the Sailor and I had a wee play on this rather large step-up. Dave the Sailor looking very stylish and me looking like a muppet…… August … Continue reading Shazza getting Sailor’d
This post and the one below are going to keep growing while I work through all the stuff we got. I’m not sure when I’m going to get it all done since Richard arrives tomorrow and AJ has 2 weeks off. Owww – man skiing…. This is what town looked like when Shazza left for hospital…. This is what town looked like when he … Continue reading Sherm and Shazza’s Photos
Sherm and Shazza are over – you couldn’t tell since Shazza has spent a bunch of time in Invercargill under the knife. I told the ambo drivers he was in for a circumsizion and I hope they didn’t take me seriously (I don’t have a suit appropriate for a Bar Mitzvah). (Note – every image in this post is a link to the movie. They … Continue reading Sherm and Shazza’s Movie’s
This winter I had planned for some Man Skiing – I’ve mentioned this phrase before and it has nothing to do with men or women – it just means ‘serious skiing’ – women can do it too (yes I’m talking about you LD – although you are a girl at heart). So far this winter I have been well behaved – to tell the truth … Continue reading Man Skiing
This was the view walking out the front door yesterday. Skiing was on the cards… But last week Concrete was closed because they didn’t have snow… today they are closed because they have snow…. YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID!!!! We try our best to get around it though – instead of skiing fresh pow- Lisa Doris joined the boys for a day out and since AJ and I were … Continue reading Snow – lots of snow!!!
Doug from Keystone told me about some natural hot springs in a valley on the west coast about 5 months ago. Since then I’ve been doing some research and when I landed here 5 weeks ago I was keen as mustard to give it a touch up. However, the west coast gets 17m of rain a year (if it fell as snow that would be … Continue reading First Real Mission of the Winter
It has been a couple of weeks since I was in Vegas and I have been asked a bit about those few days and I’ve been rather cagey. Although it was only a short relationship, I felt that I needed some time to get my head around what Vegas and I really had during that time. Until 2am each evening I was hanging out with … Continue reading Vegas + Tom = BFF (Best Friends Forever)
Back on the course a little bit (5 rounds of golf in the last 7 days counts as a little bit right?). Thought I’d take some pics of the course for their website and here are a couple of them. Continue reading Golf
I’ve been back in NZ now for a week – lots of hiking, lots of golf, lots of Bundy OP, lots of card playing and a little bit of work. And now some skiing….. AJ, Lisa from across the road and I decided to boot pack Coronet Peak today and get in some turns. A wee bit of a walk but if we didn’t do that we’d … Continue reading Day One
