So, our reason for being here is to spend the season "laying down some fresh lines, taming the pow and throwing down some sick moves". If we can do some boarding and skiing while we're at it, all the better.In the hectic week before the season kicked off, we sorted ourselves out with skis, boots, snowboards and excessively large trousers. It had been snowing heavily during May, so when the slopes opened on June 26th, the conditions were the best in years, according to the Wanaka City locals. If you ever get here, ask them about the Inversion Layer. They'll give you the rundown.
We've had visits from Ger, Aoibheann, GavRob, Emily, AllMODCons, Dan and Hannah. We've shown them the sights of Cardrona, evening drinks by the lakeside in Wanaka, Cinema Paradiso and happy hour at the Stale House. We've had some spills and encounters with ice walls but so far so good.
