I talked earlier last week with friends about saying “YES!” to everything and the impact it can have on your life. Good, bad, insane – it’ll make it interesting. So on Friday when I got a text message asking me if I wanted to go to the mountain, I had no choice really. Yes!
We hung out at the Turoa field, Mt. Ruapheu. A grand old time was had until the winds picked up – on Sunday the entire mountain was closed.
Burning questions: Do you like snow? Or is it all about the après ski? Do you ski or board? What do you think of mountain fashion? I just wear black everything, like a designer on ice…

hate de snow. it hates me. i always seem to wear inappropriate clothing for it. like jeans and sneakers. what camera are you using fyi???
Wow, look at that view over to Mt Taranaki, it must have been an awesome day up there.
All about both the on-mountain and off-mountain activity. The best thing about off-mountain activities is that they tend to kick off around 6pm with dinner (after a quick shower of course), and after a couple of mulled wines everyone is usually feeling pretty merry due to their physical exploits during the day.
The outfit: black pants, semi-loud white/green/blue jacket. Need something that stands out a little otherwise hooking up with your friends on piste becomes impossible.
Tineke: Replacement 450D! You should persevere with snow… but go to a rental shop and get hooked up with a jacket (under this I wear a thermal and a tee) and pants (I wear leggings under these). Also, I think beginner lessons are pretty damn cheap now days. Do it!
Duncan: It was bee-yoo-ti-ful. Sunny for most of the day! I love how easy it is to settle into the mountain routine… and you always sleep so well :)
Have you read the book, Yes Man? I’ve been avoiding the movie because I loved the book so much – it’s completely adorable and definitely worth looking up.
I really want to go up the mountain again. I learnt to ski as a kid but I didn’t really like it. I do like the idea of taking the lift up and wandering around up there. Drinking coffee, taking photos. But it’s a little expensive for a whim.
Oh, also you use the live view on the 450D? my papa has the 450d (just HAD to beat my 400d) and never uses the live view. It bugs me.
