Craigieburn Shennanegans

Oh, wow!

Look at this, yet another post from Kiwi land. We've discovered that there is a small internet cafe up here in Arthur's Pass. That's a hell of a lot closer than Methven, from whence I last posted.

So today was the Craigieburn day (we tried earlier, but they have a nasty habit of closing the area to non members or ski weekers if they think it might be busy). And I think I can confirm Chris and Owain's opinions that this is an awesome hill. It's a bit of a pity that the snow is pretty ordinary and the avalanche risk quite high (even inbounds), as there is some lovely terrain to try next time.

The forecast apparently talked about snow tonight - we're crossing our fingers, toes and anything else we can find - rum and coke.
