| Peak Hour traffic on a Tuesday morning up to Mt Olympus |
Firstly all the best to Austin the Yank, who had made it all the way out to NZ to shred some pow with us only to have blown his knee on his second weekend riding. Losing one of the crew this early in the season definitely put a bit of a downer on our first mission up to olympus for the season, but having said that we still managed some nice turns. Hope ya knee goes back together right (for the 3rd time?!) and look forward to shredding some fresh with you soon man!

| Fresh afternoon air. |
Yesterday we pushed on for a midweek mission up Olympus again, and for some stupid reason I let frenchboy drive-up. Safe practice is for myself to guide 'the hulk' (our Suby) up the hills in the AM, and if everything fine and the stars are aligned, then vinny will drive home back to Chch in the arvo. Anyway on this occasion I had had a late one in the books so Vincent was driving. We had almost made it up the notorious Olympus access road when vinny somehow failed to stop for a boulder (the size of a small house) in the middle of the road. We got some good air, and luckily the transmission fluid was leeking slow enough for us to get to the top of the hill for a ski. Getting back to Christchurch was another story however...

| Hucking good fun |
So despite the drama, the terrain and snow at Mt Olympus failed to disappoint as usual and we had another epic day it the sun.
