it's all about sweet 50-50's

Tell ya what, it was the first night riding session of the season, and seeing as i'm still doing 50-50's over flat down rails, small 15' kickers, and battleships i wasn't gonna start my season off by hitting the jib line at Snowpark. Instead, i settled for some bailey's hot chocolates and warmer temps inside the woolshed. Thing is i dont reckon i was settling at all. While my mates did indulge in the jib line and really enjoyed, I had a pretty sweet time inside.

So far its been about 1.5 wks since the season has started here in Wanaka, and i still haven't been up to go riding. I attempted this past weekend to go to the Remarkables. Drove up to QT on friday night and woke up nice and early, dancin around in my thermals while i got ready to go... straight back to bed - closed day.

Here's the thing. i was super amped to go to Remarks, but not so much for Coronet Peak. My last impression of the Peak was of the solid ice run (note that it was run - singular), i did where i tried my best not to turn cos i shuddered everytime i heard that scrapy ice against board noise it was making.

Personally now i'm just hangin out for more snow. I mean the winter isn't going anywhere, and while i might not have been the first one to hit the mt's this season, by all means, its only just started, so i've got heaps to look forward too.

Maybe i'll practice landing on my feet coming out the pipe for the New Electric Quarter Pipe Comp on this week end at Snowpark, or else try bombin down the mt, chinese downhill style, to get ready to look for the Yetti up at Remarks on the Stash grand opening day.

Either way i don't need to practice my sweet 50-50's this season, i've perfected it!
