Saturday morning we got up and the three of set off at 8am. We found the Te Toto track a little ways south of Raglan and started climbing Mt. Karioi. It took us about 3 hours to summit. Good climb, rather steep. Here is a shot of Gareth, Simon, and I about halfway back down the mountain in the afternoon:
Saturday night I went out with the flatmates to Valentine's. Such a crappy buffet. I much prefer the one at the US Niagara Falls casino even though I got sick there. The food at this place was crap and there was little selection. On the other hand it was a fun time hanging out.
Sunday morning Gareth and I got up at 5 and left Hamilton about 6 to head to the mountain. We made it down there and got 3rd chair on the National lift. Had a fantastic day riding. Took some runs in the halfpipe too. It has a good shape, but not quite tall enough. In the afternoon the Knoll Ridge T-bar opened so we got some sweet powder runs up there. After that we decided to hike up the the Pinnacles Ridge. Here is my favorite shot of the weekend. It is Gareth walking across the sluff from a pretty good sized avalanche that had fallen with the Pinnacles in the background:
