What a crap week for snow

Ok, so this week has been fun, but it hasn't done the snow any favours.

Um, up on the hill I would say the temperature at SnowPark has been about 7 degrees. There has practically been a river of water running along side the road at the top of snowpark because so much snow has been melting.

IT JUST FUCKING STARTED RAINING here in wanaka. Shit!

It isn't even cold here. I have been turning my heater off at night and I am wearing t-shirt and shorts right now. This is fucked.

For the last 4 days, the wind has been blowing at just about gale foce for most of the day and still blowing pretty strongly during the night.

One thing that is good is that I don't think the snow have been re-freezing completely solid at night, so the conditions have been soft to start with and then getting progressively wetter and slower. Fucked for snow, good for trying new shit cos it doesn't hurt so much when you fall.

Last season was absolutely shit house. The season before last, they were still getting snow in November. Hopefully this is just a bit of a set back. There is still over a month til the season officially ends.

One good thing though, I have heaps of web development work on at the moment, so there is no point in going up the hill, so I might as well work.

I am going to be heading north for the winter, so I will finally get to go riding in some massive hills and hopefully get some more really good powder days cos I have only had 3 really good powder days here in NZ.

If I have so much work, then why am I blogging? Yeah, I wanna work heaps I think... Can't wiat.

Hurry up and snow dammit!!!
