Well its been a little bit but here are some of the pics from my trip, along with some vids im sure there gonna be a bit of a laugh We ended up doing some boarding at Coronet peak (Day and Night Boarding) went up to the Remarkables and also went to Cardrona. it sucked that it was a complete whiteout up at Cardrona. couldn't see shit. jump on the lift when we get there, just totally covered in frozen ice and couldn't see the ground. once we got to the top we could prob see about 10 metres in front of us, maybe 15 metres. was pretty fucked and i almost went down a closed off black run coz i couldn't see much. haha that woulda been bad...
Had a madd time over there and partied up pretty hard one night, wasnt feeling the greatest the next day though So here are some pics and some vids for ya

Looking out over to Coronet Peak
We walked further up the mountain to where they jump of for the paragliding, this is after walking 15 mins through the forest
We decided we needed to walk up even further, we just wernt high enough
We got a pretty decent view, but it still wasnt high enough in the background is where they jump off for the paragliding.
So more walking through some snow, we so didnt have the right shoes on for the job
Ahh thats better, some unbelievable views up here. well worth the walk
Some more great views
My mate still wanted the "Perfect Shot" so he decided to walk up even more, im pretty sure this was the top for this mountain. You can see my mate at the top, that small little stick figure
The sunset on the mountains with the moon
The Shotover River that we went through on the Shotover Jet Boat, was really narrow but heaps of fun, doing full 360's and all that
Then this is a video of me Snowboarding on the sat night up at Coronet Peak, was a bit harder then i thought it would be Half the time i was going down backwards or on my ass. slowly got the hang of it though. had some massive stacks though and was so fucken sore but unfortunately we didnt get them on camera
haha yeah just clipped me mate, he did alright was sliding down on his back still filming me. was pretty funny to watch
yeah ed man the snow was fucken wicked, had a few days of not being able to see much but had 2 ripper days. i didnt realise how hard the snow was
yeah i called ya coz i was gonna tell ya something, prob about how good the snow was and rub it in or something but got no idea what i ended up saying to ya haha
haha, that wasnt my very first run it took me an hour to get down this one beginner run at coronet peak! haha yeah didnt get a vid of that one unfortunately but yeah pretty much every 2 metres i was on my ass that run that my mate filmed me on was the main intermediate run
yeah got no pics of me with cristal unfortunately will have to do that another time.
