Well it was a great weekend for sure, got to go out to a house warming party with a few people I knew and most people I didn't know. It was still a fun time though. Home brew is sort of our moonshine back home. Only thing is that its legal and they sell kits to do it in the stores around here. Its potent and cheap for sure.
Got to do some hiking and walking around to see a few of the different sights that NZ has to offer. It sure is a beautiful country.
I went for a walk with 2 of my housemates that are from England along the railroad tracks to one of the bridges that has an amazing view of the valley and the rolling hills that surround the area, here it is legal to walk along the tracks because it is sort of a rails to trails without the "to". But none the less it was a wonderful hike and we got to see a train or two go by. The bridge was not the same as the train bridge they had a different bridge that was the old bridge but rebuilt for personal transport. Unfortunately I did forget my camera but photos will be taken from my friends and posted up later.
Still no snow on the mountain yet, it might be a slow opening but hopefully it will get going soon. I have heard that the first month that the mountain is open its not the best weather conditions for this area and its pretty slow. But the email did come and I have an official job for the winter working at SLR which also includes Vertigo Climbing, its a high performance rental shop and climbing gym. On busy weekends I will be the demo rep at the top of the mountain for 2 different companies and it looks like they will be flying me to Christchurch for some training with the 2 distributors. An amazing job for my first time down in New Zealand.
Well I hope the snow comes soon and the season is amazing but we shall see, either way the people are still here and I am still seeing an amazing country.
