Hey everyone, sorry I've been slack, had a lot happening so the blog has taken a backseat. Have posted a photo of Mt Ruapehu as we're driving up from Wellington and one of me at the snow (which I e-mailed to a lot of you). Apologies for the quality, they were taken on my mobile!
For those of you hadn't heard, my second weekend on the mountain was not as successful as my first. While they had a fair bit of snow meaning some powder on the upper mountain, it turned quite icey and therefore lethal on the lower slopes, particularly the beginner's area. That combined with a completely different board that caught an "edge" all the time meant I spent a lot of time on my arse, and did some pretty spectacular but unfortunately not deliberate mickey flips. I ended up hurting my shoulder, so it didn't end up being a very good day. Haven't completely given up, but with season ending in 2 weeks (some fields have already closed down South), I will have to wait till next season to improve my skills. The best thing about the day was the weather - it was so clear and you could see all the way to Mt Taranaki, very spectacular!

Shame about the snow. I think we need some photos of the bruising, did you get any?
Haha I dunno if it's legal to post photos of my bruised butt!! To be honest I didn't look....I was more distracted by the pain in my shoulder (which was more internal, no bruises there either). safe to say I am a big wuss though!
