FRIDAY!:

Skiing is so stupid.



Seat Slaves....



After 12 hours of leg crushing torture, the quaint island country comes into view....



Auckland arrival....no sleep = officially seeing blurred images....



Maybe a quick trip to Bali????



Only the finest literature for the 6'er on the connecting flight...



North Island....south of Auckland....not very white.



Southern Alps = Winterized



A current picture of mountains in NZ....



Tectonic Plates....



Cardrona ski field....FROM THE SKY!



Arrival to horrible weather...



Sheepdog picks us up and we head straight to the slopes...



LOLZ! So Gangsta'



First run. And so it begins.....



Tak eating a sushi roll.....



666 cleaning his bases...



South Facing = Sheepdog powder



Tak is caffeinated....



Tak in Telex....



....an extreme skier



Oh my!



Chilled factor 10....



The snow was good, Tak's jokes are not.



666 takes a breather....



Traverses into Diagonalator.....

It was boring....



Snow was horrendous....



While Sheepdog and Seanyob smoked cancer sticks, Tak and I traversed out to this...



Tak points to his house....



Late afternoon ridge schralping....



OMG, SO BEAUTIFUL!



Tak finally heads toward our pickup location....



It was like our own little heli-run.....



Heh....



Jetlagged? No way. Break out the SUP....



Its Gore-tex right?



Stilling the spirits....



Dinner? Nah, lets head up Coronet Peak!



Its a Friday night, the music is right for Night Shredding....



Surprisingly awesome...



Better with some scolding spirits....



Take one....



Take two....666 is running on fumes.



Dub music, Kiwis think they invented it



Bye bye....



.....

...

I don't speak Kiwi, but I'm sure they have a special word for their own brand of gnarnitude.

So much slutting in this thread that even a Jersey shore girl with her name spelled out on gold sitting high above her fake orange-colored tits would even be jealous.
