Well still in Queenstown, counting down the time with just a couple more days to go. Back to Sydney on Monday and hopefully we wont be snowed in!
For the last two days I’ve hit the slopes and gotten some snowboarding in, can’t come here and not get some boarding in! I spent the day yesterday on the slopes of Coronet Peak. It had been a while, so took a few runs to get back into the hang of it. It’s not quite like riding a bike….each time I go snowboarding I seem to spend half the day getting used to it all over again. And seeing as I generally only go once or twice a year I feel like its groundhog day everytime! So I thought I would get a personal instructor this time so I could jumpstart the day and get back into it quicksmart. Stacey my instructor was brilliant and reminded me of the the key points and started teaching me some tricks as well “ollies, alli-oops, tail thunders” basically: little air jumps, 180 spins and other neat little things that saw me face planting the snow and feeling pretty sore! But well worth it, go hard or go home right!
I was supposed to go heli-boarding today in fresh powder snow down untouched mountains, but the weather had other plans and we couldn’t fly. So fingers crossed for tomorrow! But my friend Skye and I still planned to have an absolute ball up at Coronet Peak, footage is probably more interesting, so here’s a quick video of the snow adventures so far, enjoy!
