Last week was a massive week.  Dave was looking after some Doris’, we did a bit of skiing, played a bit of golf and had more nights out on the piss in a row than I can remember (I actually can’t remember parts of Tuesday morning or Saturday morning for that matter). Saturday was a bit of a recovery day (after getting home at 5:15am) but … Continue reading Some jetboating pics

After 3 weeks there is some new snow. It was heavy but there was a bit of it so after a 2am finish last night we sacked up for an early morning at Remaks. Shazza from skating is in town and I thought I’d try and see who I could make cry first, Dave or Shazza.  We haven’t had many steep runs so far this winter … Continue reading Pow day… finally

Bit of pun there in that title for those who know how to pronounce Ohau (Ow-How). Sunday today and a road trip to Ohau was on offer and was taken up.  Dave the Sailor hasn’t skied with AJ yet and this is how he looked after the first hike of the day… Dave is getting old – nearly as old as Jesus I think but … Continue reading Ohau I Love to Ski

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 … Continue reading Making the most of Friday

Monday… skiing and golf. Tuesday…. hiking. Wednesday… golf at Arrowtown.  Another crappy day – ground was a little firm and the company was a bit average but there were no complaints about the weather or the views.  Hughie, Dave the Sailor and myself. I have a couple of comments for this pic.  Firstly,  that bowl in the background is ‘Homeward Bound’ (part of Remarkables) – a … Continue reading Arrowtown Golf Club

After a solid session last night and a 4am bed time Dave the Sailor and I were up early this morning and there is some exploring I’ve been keen to do out at 12 Mile Delta. Rob wasn’t around – most likely due to the two ugly chicks he was messing with.  They were ugly…. and I know ugly. The area I wanted to explore … Continue reading Bush bashing

Monday’s are good because everybody else is at work.  However it is skool holidays and Dave the Sailor has arrived so I wasn’t sure how Monday was going to work out. I shouldn’t have been worried. Warren Miller got us pumped up last night so we were on the first chair at Remarks.  After 3 runs Dave had his legs back so it was time for … Continue reading Skiing + Golf = Another Bloody Monday

After 4 holes of golf the greens were getting a bit too much snow on them to continue. A couple of beers later and it was still puking – so much so I had to chain up at the golf club for the 6km trip home. Here are some pics from this morning – lots of snow and the forecast is predicting 20cms more by … Continue reading First ‘real’ day of winter

What an intense couple of days. Wednesday morning started with golf at Arrowtown.  That blended into State of Origin at Malcomes.  After discussing the meanling of life with Jerry, Malcome, Vince and Hughie I hit the sack at 4am.  Hughie was later than that but he was up at 6am to watch bloody English Football on pay TV. Hughie woke me up for golf where … Continue reading May 25th, Remarks Ski Field

I suppose I should do something on Sunday and when AJ’s call woke me up I couldn’t say no to a ride. After riding AJ and I had a few G & T’s at Shai’s place…. Then AJ’s woman (Jeff) cooked us a roast.  Home around 1am – what a FANTASTIC day.  And I don’t even like Sundays. I’ve got a feeling that Monday (my … Continue reading Sunday’s Activities

Friday arvo here and I took the dog up for a walk on Concrete Peak and I was keen to see where some of the bigger rocks are. I took a pic of the dog for my ‘online dating’ foto – I figure I can say that I’m a Maori with 2 legs and 3 dicks.  Hahahaha. Continue reading Concrete Peak

I am a big fan of Monday’s.  Easily my favourite day of the week but the last couple of Tuesday’s haven’t been too bad. Today was Ben Lomond a 1400m accent straight up from town.  Another gorgeous day although once on the ridge line the wind was much much stronger than we expected.  It was a 5hr round trip and enjoying a rum now I can tell you. … Continue reading Tuesday’s are growing on me
