Hi Everyone.
Sorry for the absence. Blame it on technical issues 🙂 As we haven’t used the site for so long, lots of things were cactus!!!
Well, where do we start… I think this post will be just a start & I will finish editing tomorrow. Masters started today and it was an interesting day to say the least…but let’s start from the beginning.
We landed mid afternoon last Sunday and got some supplies & settled in. That night it started to rain and Monday Coronet was closed. We went up anyway to stow all our gear into the locker ready for Tuesday. Oh boy. Overnight temps dropped to below zero, in fact -2 and SNOWING!!
The Peak hadn’t had any new snow since late June so it really started to transform. Over Tuesday & Wednesday the Peak had nearly 1/2 a metre!Â
The next couple of days we renewed our love-hate relationship with chains. Temps down here in the valley were between -4 & -9 so just a tad cool & some very significant frosts. On Wednesday we actually had a light dusting of snow down here on the valley floor.
Have managed to catch up with some long time friends which is really nice.Â
So, to this morning…. A complete dumb day. As it has been 4 years since I skied, my feet have changed a little & my left boot is REALLY causing some pain. That & a really busy ski day and the head just did not want to co-operate. Ended up bombing out, coming home and sleeping the dumb off.
Put boot heaters into the left boot & attempting to blow it out to give some wiggle room. If that doesn’t work it will be into Queenstown to get it really attacked.
As usual, Roger is on top of his game so we have to put a stop to that. Next couple of days should be mild. Tomorrow is not a ski day instead we’ll maybe hit the pool and do some laps.Â
As usual, we’ll keep uploading photos and try to be a bit more regular in our posts. Hello to everyone back across the ditch!!!
