having been to both Raglan and Ruapehu I can say that this is got to be one of the sweetest things ever...Kiwi's are so lucky...in 01 i did the surf/snowboard, but had to wait until the next day to get a pull behind the boat...still, the 24hrs was unreal...good luck

Sounds sick!
i did something similar last year, but it lasted the weekend since the snow is an 8hr drive away.

Is Mt. Ruapehu gonna definately be open?

Is Ruapehu better than Cardrona, Coronet, Treble Cone etc...
i still haven't been to the north island

Have a good one boys and girls. It sounds like a wicked trip.

You're a hard man Ralph, riding in a heater top. I'm still surfing in boardies, but with a 3mm l/s top and a 1mm heater top underneath, and people think I'm crazy...

Wind is looking like it's gonna be a NE off shore for the weekend, so you should have a blast at Raglan.

That design you drew up is sick, it's pretty much a rad idea all round. I think I will have to get in for the repeat if you do it again next year.

G, I'm finding out if I can get a few T's done with the hoodies. Can you email me your postal address?

Dave, yup Ruapehu opened last weekend, only the learners slopes but what the hey; the day is more about having a cool experience with a few friends than shredding the Nar. North Island slopes are not as good as QT or Wanaka IMO, the snow quality down there is much better.

Jos, Tolan @ X-box pulled in some favors & got the artwork done. Art is not one of my skills for sure. Send me you no bro we should hook up and ride in the summer.

Oh Cool.

I'm thinking about heading down to Perisher soon for some 'front valley' fun.

You should let people know in advance next year... i reckon it's a sick idea!

Joe,

Stuff me in your luggage. I'm small! Wait! I mean .....ah, nevermind!

The day went off. We took tons of photos, I'll have a sort through and post some up tomorrow. I've got t-shirts for Joe & G.

Can't wait for these pics, how was the surf? I was out at Kariotahi on Saturday morning and I've never seen so many surfers there. It was going off.

Darren, sounds good, that Sanger wake of yours looks like the business

Is there much going on with the club over winter? I really should sort myself out and join up one of these days...
