holiday has been very very good. Wanaka was amazing. The first day there way 15 cm of fresh powder on the mountian. Got up there nice and early and skied great stuff all day. On the last run of the day I hit a wall ride for the second time. The wall was not buried in the snow far enough and my ski went under the wall instead of over. I completely smashed my binding to hell. I was able to get a replacement in town for only 100 dollars. Still it was an expense I was not expecting.
Second day we went for the most grueling hike ever. About 1200 vertical meters. I can still feel it in my legs. It was extremely hard! Lots of steeps and switch backs.
Third day was rainy so we just recovered. We went to puzzle world which was funny.
Forth day was another 15 cm of fresh snow at Treble Cone. Only the front lift was open for most of the day because of wind closure in the back bowl. At 3 they finally opened the back bowl and we got to ski the fresh in the back for a bit. It was awesome.
Then we drove to queenstown. This place is a zoo. Ways to spend money everywhere you turn! The city is super crowded. We are booked here until Sun. but idk what we will do.
Today was another rainy day. We just kind of hung out. One of my friends went bungee jumping. And we all went alpine lugging. Hopefully we will get to go skiing tomorrow. It all depends on the weather. We wake up early every morning. Check the snow reports, then go from there. With all these storms there should be good snow but who knows. We should have stayed up at treble cone where they got 25 more last night.
I will give a fuller report and pics after holiday but now there is to much to do.
I am hoping to go sky diving sometime soon!
