No post for a while. Its all been go here in sunny Wanaka with school holidays drawing to a close this weekend and all returning back to normal. We have had an unbroken run of beautiful, sunny and cold weather. No new snow since the dump 3 weeks ago but its been so calm and chilly that Cardrona has stayed in great condition despite the crowds. I have been up the hill a grand total of 10 times so far. Not bad and it looks like snow this week. Yeh. Zach left this morning and I think he had a good time. Plenty of skiing and riding his scooter and we had some good times on the climbing wall over the road. KB is here now helping us out and keeping our sanity too. And scored a 15000ft skydive. Amazing, cannot recommend it enough. Kinda scary sitting on the edge but once out the door it was unreal. 200km/h headwind, incredible views over the whole Wanaka basin, 60 seconds freefall, bloody freezing. And then with a gentle tug the parachute(thankfully)opening. Then just a cruise down to the landing with me going weeee like a kid. Very cool experience.
