Several factors contributed to the apparent regression of my snowboarding skills yesterday, notably the dodgy gear (bad bindings, beat-up boards) and icy slopes. Ouch, the pains have all returned! But it was a blast. It turns out there's a group of Steiner high school kids from near Hawke's Bay, staying at Mt. Lyford for a week of outdoor stuff. A great gang, lots of fun, we shot some fun pool and they dug the iPod. :)
Now I'm off to Kaikoura.
