  • Sloth's Total Ripper

    After last weekend's battle with the rocks, it was a good excuse for me to get out shopping today. So here she is, my all-new non-rock board. Have joined the Pope in the Lib Tech camp, this one being the TRS (Total Ripper Series) with Magne-Traction (that's those weird wavy edges). Bit of a softer...

  • Mt Hutt Bluebird

    I don't really need to say much about how the day started - just look at this photo. Perfect. After breakfast in Methven, got ourselves up the mountain again. Seems word had got around and even more people were up there - we got up at 10:30 and were already in the overflow carpark! Went to pick up...

  • Mt Hutt Powder Day

    Well, after yesterday's massive disappointment , Mt Hutt fully redeemed itself. Myself and SJ got ourselves up at 6:30am, checked the snow report and...yay!!! It's open. With 35-50cm of fresh dry powder . Got all the "right, thens" out of the way, out the door and on the road (via Maccas...

  • Mt Hutt - the day that didn't happen

    A very excited Sloth got up at 6:45am, knowing that it had been dumping all night. Looked at the snow report - yep, plenty of fresh, but Mt Hutt "On Hold". Well, that usually means that they're clearing the road and will get it sorted. Not wanting to miss out on a Greybird day, I drove...

  • Good weather at last! (Winter Season Day 2)

    Southern Alps from Mt Hutt Originally uploaded by le_sloth . I'd done 6 days riding by this time last year - just got back from my 2nd one of this season. Weather's been dodgy for last couple of weeks now, with so much snow in Queenstown they had to cancel most of the Winter Festival, driving...

  • Mount Hutt Opening Day (Winter Season Day 1)

    It was only a couple of days late, and Mount Hutt opened for the new season today. Got myself up there for about 10am, bit of a false start to find that my snow chains didn't fit Rosie's new tyres. Oops. New chains for her then and hitching up for the Sloth today. Only the 1 lift open and a couple...
