Olympus

More snow across New Zealand. Stayed home for two days this time!

It’s all very pretty of course, and it is, but it’s all quite wet and … gritty!

It was however, an excellent reason to head to the hills to go snowboarding. Headed off to Mt Olympus for the day yesterday. Shelly & Paul (the newlyweds), Dan & Candance, Pauls Dad, Mark and I .. Olympus is a great little club field. It was really hard work as there was tonnes of snow, but it had compacted a bit and had been a little cut-up before we got onto it. It also took us until midday to get to the field as they were only letting high-clearance 4wd cars (with chains) to go up the access road. Still, worth it once we got there.

And there were some stunning view on the way back.

In other news just in – am off to do a 3 week outward bound course in September. Letters (and chocolates etc) would be gratefully received. I’ll send around the address soon. I’m not actually joking here, it would be lovely to get letters/postcards :)
