Seen as the last 6 years winter is a training phase for the world champs been in September we have never had a chance to do winter activities, as the risk of us getting hurt are quite high, not this year however. Not travelling has given us the prime time to refresh and have a play, plus its a rest week.
We wanted to get a quick trip in before Katie's surgery in a few weeks. So Carl, Katie, Pam (Katie's mum) Patrick Avery, Scott Green and Carl's brother Stefan, who lives in Owakune whilst he works on the Turoa side of Ruapahu.
Friday was very fun Carl and Scott learning and the rest were getting used to the mountain again after years away and Stefan well he was just taking us round showing us the tricks of the snow and where to go and what to do.

Saturday was a different story, over night frosts made the mountain very icy, Carl had a few big crashes early and had a wee sit down at the cafe, a few mins latter Scott had a big one, so we headed home early as it was just not fun any more and our bodies and bones where hurting.
Good fun on our rest week our muscles must think was a race week.
