WOW, have I said that before.
Well we reached the climax of the week on Wednesday. Heli skiing was absolutely fantastic. Superb. Brilliant.
Do you ever have those days when you can’t get the grin off your face?
Ever had a day when you feel like the Lord really does love you a whole freaking lot?
The sun shone all day. There was fresh, untracked snow on the ground. There was a guide and 3 others. This was…..
Insert your very own superlative there. I can’t express just how much fun and excitement that was. Perhaps the photos can tell some of the story.
Try this…
Start of a perfect day. Taxi!!! Going up? Just plonk it here then, eh? Up and over the inversion layer
Hsin is just gorgeous! Who’s driving this bus. Ok… so who’s excited?
Here’s our ride. Mark conquers the universe. Where’d everybody go? Toughest decision of the day. Left or Right? Move along now people, there’s nothing to see here. Drawing lines.
But if i go down there, he’ll only bring me back up again. Cool! What a job No Standing
for just a sample.
I could rave on forever, and should definately have made this post yesterday evening, whilst fresh and still on the big high… and what a high!
mad.
Just one more day to go sadly. Today we took it easy and got up to the Remarkables at about 11am. It was crowded, and the light was really flat like last time, and my boots hurt, and… moan, moan, moan 
A couple of lazy runs and back to the benches for me. Got into it late, for a few harder turns on the last few runs as the crowd wound down and the sun weakened. Just like those beautiful days at Big White for a moment there. Got away on my own for a few runs and just the listening to people on the lifts, on the runs, listening to the mountains, the quiet, perhaps meeting a local. Beautiful really. An inkling of work… why would you?
Getting late already. We’ve been dining it up most evenings, and not a lot (any) free time out for this kind of thing. Just one more day to go. A last hard blast or two down the mountain.
Hope I have the legs for it.
God Loves You All.
