  • This is what a closed day at Mt Hutt can look like ....

    Watch the video It’s been like that for a few days now – glad I’m not stuck up there!

  • Mt Hutt - Winter 2009 Day 3

    Here we go with another day up the local mountain, hadn't been for a couple of weeks, so much to do with the move back to the other side! Sloth's Report on GoneBoarding

  • Mt Hutt - Winter 2009 Day 2

    Straight in no kissing, here we go with a beaut of a day, just 4 days after the first. No time for girly legs this time round. So I took 2 randoms off SnowPool again - oh dear oh dear. So the first one gets in and pretty much says nothing at all from leaving my road all the way to the mountain. The other...

  • Mt Hutt - Winter 2009 Day 1

    I almost ran out of time, but there was no way I wasn't going riding in June, especially as Mt Hutt had been open since the end of May! Got someone from Snowpool to come up for the day, which was all good. Must've been a bit excited/Alain/whatever on the way up as went to overtake a coach on...

  • It’s snowing at last!

    We’re a full month into the season and this Sloth still hasn’t been up the mountain yet! Things are finally looking up though, up the top, right up there. 10cm freshies overnight, still snowing now and more looking likely for next couple of days. All of this with no wind makes Sloth a happy Sloth. Just...

  • It’s not over till Dumpy says so!

    [I realised I never posted this little story from the arse-end of Winter 2008, so it is…] It’s the end of October, I’d just about packed everything away until next season and was convincing myself to get the bike out. But then I saw the weather for the long weekend – a cold sou’wester making its way...

  • The Melting Hutt

    "I'm melting, I'm melting"...said Mount Hutt. Yep, Spring's here, the nor-wester has been battering the mountains, stripping snow off bit by bit. Still, that means warm temps, blue skies and slushy riding - sweet! Went up to Hutt today for all of the above, had another wicked day...

  • Best day of the season 2008

    "Am I awake? Eh? What's going on? 5:45am?" thought a very confused and barely awake Sloth. "Holy crap, powder day!!" as he jumped out of bed and straight onto the snow reports. "Come on, come on...is it open?" Finally we got the green light at 6:30 and after a few more...

  • The only time I wished the mountain was closed

    Woke up this morning, feeling fine, had something special on my mi-nd...Hang on, where's this going? Yesterday was neige, lots of it, but a very closed mountain. Today was much of the same, but with an extra 40cm on top. The usual "On Hold" trick on the snow report. I was up and ready to...

  • The Grey Dog

    Change the wind direction from a Southerly to a Nor-Wester at this time of year and things change, really change . From reading the report, I knew it was going to be a bit heavy and wet, but I needed to get up there, you know how it is?! Turn your bloody lights on! The weather from ChCh to the mountains...
