Photos
I have been snapping away like crazy since I got here, so it is about time that I shared a couple of my photos with you. I have scaled them way down, but I get the feeling that this page is going to start to get pretty heavy.... maybe some thumbnails next time.
The view from the top of Treble Cone:
If you want to get the good powder, and make your own tracks, then you need to do some walking. This one is of P 'hiking the summit' (as the locals call it). Obviously the further you walk, the better it gets. The top is at a lowly 2100m or there abouts, and it takes about 30 minutes to get to the top. If you want to get some *really* good powder, and are bit unbalanced in your quest for good snow, then you can always hire a guide. Last week P and I hiked for 6 hours for 2 runs (and they weren't even all that long!).
And this is what it looks like from the top:
Just in case you were wondering, it does get a bit parky here - especially if you happen to be living in a 22' caravan. Evidence - check out these crazy ice crystals. Each one is about 2cm long. They look like Eike's hair from about 2 years ago (especially when you catch them in the light and they look blue):
And finally... it wouldn't be New Zealand without a silver fern. Before any Kiwis out there start leaving nasty comments correcting my ignorance - I know it isn't THE silver fern, it is just a regular, bog standard one that just happens to be covered in ice ;-)

Hi Simon, I found your blog while googling for something similar to this topic - Photos. I like to look at artistic photos of people, especially at their smiling faces. If you have some free time go to http://photo-personals-search.com for top pictures and rate pictures of singles from your neighborhood.
