New Zealand proper, Aug 12th

[skier666]

The snow at lake level turned to rain last night but still snowing hard on the higher peaks. Remarks were closed, so we heading up to hit something at Coronet. For those who don't know, Coronet isn't really that exciting but its the closest to town. Its also at the lowest elevation so its dumping at the higher peaks. Bad flat light and some wet snow in the afternoon, however the first 5 runs from the top was buttery smooth. and about a foot deep.

I'd be lying if I'd say we weren't soaking wet ...

No actions shots due to the wet weather but this will give you an idea.

WE RINSED IT OUT PROPER!!!!

Why must you torment us?

Coronet (Concrete) Peak is for punters. When you get to the Remarks hike up to the Alta chutes for some more interesting lines, Homeward is also quite good. But it looks like this shitty westerly weather system may hang around for a few days. Have you made it to any other areas yet?

We were called into Concrete peak to test out some 2006 skis...?

Of course the Chutes are the shit....that's the only reason I come to this 3rd world country. In my opinion, staying in Queeny, hiking the chutes, eating some good feed, and hitting the subculture for some dnb is pretty much the shit.

I've been to almost every mountain, every top coffee shop, and know where to go but the weather is really fucking with me right now....

....but thanks for the headz up mate
