Fresh Powder - It turns out that the rain that battered National Park brought new snow to the slopes of Mt Ruapehu. I've just spent a fantastic morning riding fresh snow on the Waterfall Express. It was great to board on really fresh snow which lets you go faster and harder. Wipe outs hurt less!!! That was until Brandie took us down a untouched run, best of the day. At the base of the run I fell straight into the snow which was covering a rock....OUCH!! Day over ice pack out and time to go home for dinner.
Avalanche Course - Tonight is theroy night in preperation for an avalanche awareness course. Part of the reason for finishing early is because I have a full day out on the slopes tomorrow. This course is just somethin of interest for whilst I'm here, and as most would guess, Roomie is doin it too. I'll updates on this are to follow.
