ohau- (oh-how)

A four hour drive to get to this mountanin range.

Pinky and I stopped to help some tourists.
Question: who is crazier; a) the crazy person? or b) the supposedly sane person who follows the crazy people because they don't want to look like a chicken? I just spent 3 days at Ohau, a private ski slope, it only has one chair lift which does not take you to the top of the mountain, this has its advantages and disadvantages.
pros: not many people which require avoiding.
cons: walking, lots and lots of walking.
This photo was 45 minutes of walking- the ride down- about 2 minutes. Worth it? oh yes.
The following day we came down from the peak you can see on the other side of this bowl, it was untouched when we got there and was still left with only our tracks when we left it was great boarding down that.
The only way to finish the day
When i figure out how to post film work i will send post some of the thrills and alot of the spills from the weekend. until then this will do.

Looks excellent, Harry. If you were in Europe there would be a million people on that run. How good is NZ?
How come you prefer the board to proper skis? I've tried both (okay, not so hot on the board) and found the skis more versatile (you can go up hills as well as down). Made up with your mum yet?

Okay.....no-one else seems to be about to ask the begging question, so looks like I have be the one. Harry, who is Pinky????? Anything you would like to share with your family?

PS Just wondering where the super curious uncles and male cousins have suddenly disappeared to - you know, the ones who harass all the nieces / female cousins about any references to the opposite gender?

Did anyone read the herald sun article about molly meldrum's invisible friend "Simon"? Maybe Harry has been so lonely away from his caring family that "Pinky" had to come and keep him company. Just a theory. And it kind of makes sense if you think about Millie's new "boyfriend".

julia, do you see what has happened here? Ok, the male cousins and uncles have left this one alone as there may be a logical answer to "Pinky", where as the sewing circle has obviously got together and decided on there own version of events.
