Dear Diary...

  My Default Blog
Sunday, June 11, 2006
FINALLY!! I just came back from the best weekend of my entire life! Alannah and I have just driven 12 hours back to Ohakea (and she has 6 to go)- I have work in two hours but I don't care because all I can think about is my love affair with snowboarding......
MT HUTT (where it all began for me) opened on Saturday, and I took 2 busses, a plane, and 3 cars to get there!! We took my dad's Pajero, but it blew a water hose off the back of the engine half way there, but by an amazing stroke of luck (or was it...?) a guy I used to know from somewhere I used to live happened to drive by- so Ryan, Alannah and I jumped in their tiny 4wd over- loaded with all our gear and kept on truckin!! (I was in the boot)... Well I'm gonna try this "Picture is worth a thousand words" thing out....


So so ready...

In my dad's wagon outside my parents house....

.... And dad's wagon broken on the side of the hill!

Rescued!! Back on our way (taken from in the boot)

Finally there!!! Back at the old stomping ground....

Seeing if I've still got it!! ;)

(Ryan's derinately still got it)

End of the day- waiting for the tiredness to hit haha. This was the best day snowboarding of my life!! Check the other pics in my gallery. Thanks to all the other crew we met up there for making it such a rad day. Anthony, Mike, everyone else I got to ride with. Sorry about the truck dad!! (he had it fixed in no time) Peace!

Well it's 4 DAYS today until snowboarding kicks off for the year!!! It's freezing and we had good snowfalls, then they had a nice warm rain patch which washed everything away! I'm going south for my first weekend riding so it doesn't affect me, but Mt Ruapehu had to start from scratch! They had over 1 metre a week ago and now look at what they're working with:

I mean seriously, snowmakers are good and stuff, but even that's pushing it!!
