Synopsis:
Its greybird, its Springtime, and you’re in Queenstown…what is there to do?
WEDNESDAY!:
Let’s go skiing. Free Red bull helps…
Free beats helps to drain the Springtime sorrow…
OMG, its going to be so much fun…
Great day for a piste rando-tour…
Oh man, 1pm and its not looking that soft…
Seanyob is beyond stoked…
666 always has fun skiing….
T-bar? Why not?
Why Woody chose the T-bar……
….so he could show off his new moves…
666 tried to turn on the snow machine so we could rip pow…
Regardless, Tak skiing deep pow…
Sheepdog waters the tussok….
666 ventures to the off-piste to search for softer snow….
It didn’t end too well…
Sheepdog got the deepest slush of the day…bravo!
Tak thinks this looks cool given the conditions…
Time for a pizza break…
Sheepdog….pre-flat-white depression…
Post flat-white….
Seanyob’s slash started a fire in the background…
Sheepdog attempts to put out the fire….
Skiing’s done…time to go jetboating…Tak is not amused…
My god, we’re not going through there are we?
The big wave runner…
Here we go?
How about some video?
666 wasn’t feeling too well after thirty 360s…
Can we just go back to the dock?
Meanwhile, while on the boat…….Sheepdog washes his ride…
Engine steeze….
Done with jetboating, why not go paragliding?
Got to go higher…..
How’s the wing mate?
Seanyob’s first flight…so cute…
Bye bye…
He did manage to get a pic of his lovely shoes….
My shoes look so much more appropriate…..
666 trying to look terrified…
The flight was pretty mellow…
Not sure what the dude in the background is doing, but we’re back on th ground….
Not a bad place to land…
Seanyob celebrates and begins his 4th activity of the day…
Hmmm, I wonder is Woody said something inappropriate….
Oh no….is this night going to end well?
Things are starting to look distorted…
THURSDAY!
666 wakes up in the middle of the Alta Chutes at the Remarks…
Good cure for a hangover….
Sheepdog confirms that Spring has sprung….
Last run for NZ 09’…
Bye bye Alta Chutes…see you next time
Let’s just say we neutral’d to the gas station…..
Next up, BUNGY!
Seanyob takes a leap of faith….
Solid form as he blows chunks into the river…
He survived….shocker!
On the way to our next activity…..this thing appeared out of the ground….
That’s right….its time to play with shotguns!
Seanyob was loving it….
…’Not the bird, the clay!’
Sheepdog’s wife came in a close 2nd…good for her, bad for Sheepdog…
666 has almost zero upward strength in his left shoulder…..so he finished last…
But he did get an ‘A’ for effort….
Thug life in New Zealand…
Now that the trip was coming to an end, Seanyob had some unfinished business to take care of….
Yep, direct head shot into good ol’ 666…..
Looks like this is his last TR….
