Snowboarding: Remarkables Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 8C Sea Temperature: Weather: Crystal clear Sunshine Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Been planning to go up all week as the remarks had a foot or so of snow
over the past cold week. Awoke to find clear skies so knew it was gonna be
a cracker.
Last day of season so was rude not to venture up. We cruised up in Adams
battered old car and arrived for half 10ish.
Just messed around on the terrain park in the sugar bowl for the whole day
hitting the rails and big booter jump. Had some great runs and then the odd
shit run.
We made the effort and took some photographs for good memories of my season
here in Queenstown. Some of them turned out pretty good.
Only stacked it once or twice. One i'l remember is jumping of this hit and
landing sideways with my back edge digging in causing me to be catapulted
to the floor with my back of head takin the full impact. Was a bit dazed
after that but carried on.
Conditions today were excellent. Fresh powder on hard compact ice. Weather
couldn't of been any better with crystal clear sunshine so you could see
the spectacular scenery for miles and miles in every direction. The Suns
getting pretty powerful as my face has been scorched red and ive got some
great goggle marks (big panda eyes).
One of the best bits about boarding at the remarks is the drive down as you
can have so much fun rallying aong the dirt tracks. Adam took it a bit too
far today and being the cheeky lad he is, overtook a bus just before a bend
but he got cut up by it as the road narrowed putting a nice big scrape down
his passenger side.
What a top day and a perfect way to end my season here in New Zealand. Jus
gotta try and send my board home if I can.
