Day 25 - Last blog

24/08/2009

Hey folks

My trip downunder comes to an end. Finally we had some good weather the last days and went on Mount Cheeseman and Cragieburn. It snowed a little and we did some stuff there. Unfortunately I felt super ill on Mount Cheeseman. But I'm already fine. Again Now we finished our Snowboardtrip officially and we will spend our last days in Kiwiland on the Norther Island as tourists. When I look back I have to say that the whole trip has been a freaking blast. Even though the weather and snowconditions weren't that good we had a good time and enjoyed the beautiful landscape. So basically I can recommend a Trip to Newzealand to everyone.

Thanks to Quentin,Becks,Jens,Stani,CK,Samy,Mitch and sorry to all the opossums I drove over a long the way... Good Times.

Later

Day 19 - Where is the snow part 2

18/08/2009

Hey guys,

yesterday the weather was once again super shitty. So we decided to drive with our Campervan „Lucy“ to a place called Akaroa to visit the Penguins there. But Once we got there we changed our plan and went on the golf course for a 9 whole round. That was super fun but I guess I won't start playing it within the next 40 years...

Today we went again on the mountain to a resort called Broken River. The mountain can be only reached by a rusty railway-gondola. Sketchy thing..:-) As soon as we arrived in the Broken River resort we realized that it rained all the way up to the top the last days and the tiny bit of snow there sucks. It's just way to warm at the moment and the snow is melting super fast... On the way down from the mountain we found a little gap over a stone and tried some stuff there. Didn't worked out that good.. Pray for snow!

Cheers

Day 18 - Where's the snow gone?

17/08/2009

After our 6 hour drive back to Christchurch yesterday we had to check a rental car at the airport. We choose a nice Camper van, which will be our ride/sleeping place for the next 14 days. After that I went straight to the K2 distribution because I already broke both of my boards here. They seem to break a lot easier down here ☺ Today we went together with Quentin Robbins to a Resort called Mount Lyford. Unfortunately the snow there wasn't good at all. It seems that it rained all the way to the top the day before und furthermore it got super warm today. So it was quite difficult to find good snow and things to shoot. But we worked for it and found a fence gap and a little jump over a pile of stones to shoot. At least we got the camera klicking. Today we're checking if we can find any good snow or we do some more tourist days.. keep you guys updated.
