The Mountains Are Calling.

We have spent the last 6 1/2 months on or near the beach. We have both aged 10 years through sun damage, and I have just about run out of things to entertain me on the beach.
In 4 days time we will be beginning the snow side of our trip when we fly to New Zealand. Our ski kit *should* be arriving in the post any day soon and we will pretty much head to Mt Hutt for the first day of ski season on June 10th. We will then hopefully have non stop skiing until 30th June when we trek back up to Auckland for our flight back out to the French Polyonesian isalnds for a well earned recover session back on the beach for 3 weeks.
Then its straight back on it as we head to the Andes to ski some of the highest hills in the world in Chile and Argentina for as long as our budget lasts, or Sam can pull a 360 out of a halfpipe.
The snow in the Andes is pretty much guarenteed as we are there in the depth of their winter, and apparently Mt Hutt (NZ) has already loads of the white stuff from good snow falls since April. The two photos here are of Mt Hutt.
So prepare for my boring tales of bording instead of surfing.
Ski Hiel !
