I think I’m going back to Buller on Saturday, should be a much nicer day weatherwise than Sunday I hope.

 

I try to only head up on decent days. I have bad experiences in horrible weather :(
I went off the side of family run once, it was steep as, trees everywhere, i tried to stop after 10 metres and my edge of the board smacked a tree and i pretty much flew in the air whilst spinning and slammed into the next tree full on. I didnt break anything though…but i think my pants turned brown after that
Well i dont totally avoid horrible weather. i just tend to go on runs like summit when the weather is shit. so i cant get off the run…..

I’m definitely going tomorrow, fair chance I will be be doing a solo mission, anyone going to be at Buller?

Enjoy man, sometimes solo missions are the only option.

I will be doing my final trip of the season next week, hitting both Thredbo and Perisher.

Home now, completely rooted.  Boarded from 8 till 3, stopped for long enough to scoff a sausage roll and a drink and that was about it.  That banana continues to impress.  Not the day I was hoping for but not terrible either, a little windy, snowed a bit but first tracks were good on the southside.
