Well, It’s been a week & we have been busy boys.. Weather has been good up until today. Woke up this morning after a week of between -5 & -8 temps to find it a warm 2 degrees, slightly raining and no frost.
The last few days have been mainly fine but with cold temps and lots of frost. Haven’t needed chains since the last snowfall which is great.
Have loaded up some more pikkies and we will have a few more yet.
Racing has been slick but the rest of the mountain has been really well groomed even though it is starting to need some more snow…soon.
We had a little bit this morning but it was mainly rain & fog.
Roger has had a cold/flu last few days so we didn’t ski Saturday or Sunday but went up for a while this morning until stinky weather chased us off the mountain. By the way, our new fave word is “stinky”…Stinky snow, stinky weather, anything that is off is just plain stinky! They closed access to the race area mid morning this morning due to wind and they also put Greengates lift on wind hold.
We had some hope we would have more snow tonight but doesn’t look likely so skiing will be rather tame.
Found a fave new coffee spot, only a small outlet but they do have some undercover seating. Run by the same crew as Fergburger in Queenstown so after all these years we finally had one of their burgers & yep, well worth the hype.
Many of the places we knew have either closed down or changed hands and gone severely downhill so it was nice to find somewhere good. They combine a butchery, bakery, coffee & takeaway food all under a pretty small area which is amazing. has to be the best value eats anywhere in Arrowtown.
Well, time for a quick shower before it starts to get really cold. Suspect it will be a clear & cold nite tonight and hopefully a reasonable start for tomorrow.
