FINALLY!

Finally was able to put my skis on and go make some turns. I headed out to mt olympus with my mate brett. it was the true New Zealand ski experience. its a club field and that exactly what it is, a club. it has members who work some volunteer hours during the summer and pau annual dues but ski there all winter long. If you didnt know where you were going you would never find it. no road signs no advertisements on how to get there. Brett runs a guide service around here which involves taking customers to these club fields and driving them up this extremly gnarly road. it takes 4wd and chains to get up there. No lifts there, only rope tows that involce a device called a nutcracker. you wear a harness and attached is this nut cracked and you have to get on the rope and clamp the nutcracker onto the rope before the first pulley , or you must bail! Great snow, awsome terrain very stoked to have finally boot up and hit the hill. 

Cheers all
