There a new chair at A-Basin and it has been open for 2 weeks but we have been busy skiing Keystone, Vail, Beaver Creek and Winter Park. Today we could fit it into our calendar. Here is Al Airborn down one of the steeper lines we could find – the snow was wicked and you can see the Zuma Chair in the background. This first … Continue reading Zuma Chair
After 4,500 miles I’m back in Colorado. The road trip was pretty kewl although the driving was pretty nasty at times – the last day I drove 13hrs to beat a storm. Back in Keystone now for a little while and Lurch and Lisa are down here too. This morning we skied Keystone, then after lunch we headed up to A-Basin for a change of … Continue reading Back in CO
Nice day up at Remarks – not enuf snow but the main feature of the day were 3 runs, one from Little Jimmy, one from Matt and one from myself. Best thing was – we caught it all on camera. Remarks.wmv – right click then save target as (13meg) Continue reading Fun day at Remarks
Yes this was supposed to be jetboating on the Dart but it was raining and nearly snowing so we ended up on the Shotover. Kinda funny that my tone indicates that the Shotover is 2nd best – that is not how it meant to come out at all and since I haven’t been on the Dart yet I can’t compare. However, as you can see … Continue reading Jetboating on the Dart
After a morning of riding what else in there to do in Queenstown? Well if you know a bloke with a jetboat then you can go jetboating…. On the way up the shotover river we saw the commercial boats where people pay $90+ to jetboat the gorge….. Get out of our road biatches!!!! The best thing about a non-commercial ride is that you can get … Continue reading Kiwi Matt and Jetboating
So after a couple of days skiing (see posts below) Kiwi Matt and I hit the course. Now here is a guy who dates Miss New Zealands and is a pretty good slowboarder but I play like 75 rounds of golf a year so I wasn’t too scared…. I should have been. The front nine I gave Kiwi Matt a shot…. on the back nine he … Continue reading Golf with Kiwi Matt
Dave loves TC and Kiwi Matt has arranged some tickets to ski TC so the three of us went over there for the day. I’m not sure about Dave or Kiwi Matt but this was one of my top 5 day of the season… The snow wasn’t epic and the lines we skiied were’nt “You Fall You Die”. For me it was the entire day which … Continue reading Kiwi Matt, Dirty Dave and Tom @ TC
Kiwi Matt is back for another riding session in 2006 with us and there is a long history here. Back in 2004 Kiwi Matt was one of our first ever ‘Live-In, Snow Enthusiasts.” He was awesome back then and with a steady supply of duty free Bundy he has retained the position of a ‘Bloody Great Bloke who is more than welcome anytime.’ So back … Continue reading The History of Kiwi Matt
Milford Sound (which is actually a fiord) is really boring. Its sticking hot, its boring, there is nothing to look at – you might as well stay at home – NOT!!!! Lets just start off with some of the waterfalls we took fotos of. Well we were getting a little sick of the 100’s of waterfalls (see how close the boat got to them) so … Continue reading Thousands of waterfalls @ Milford
I’ve been sorting through all these pics and most fotos with Andrea in them give me the impression that she was cold. To be honest the day on the boat was actually cold but pretend I didn’t say that. Continue reading Does Andrea look cold?
The snow was going to be crap this day – windy as hell and overcast meant that the overnight freeze would hang around all day. So after some luging (care of AJ) we thought we’d head out to Skippers Canyon. The road up there is one of only 2 roads in New Zealand where you rental car insurance is null and void. This is because … Continue reading Skippers Road
