Swiss quality training in NZ
Jane had just put a roast dinner in the oven and Martin was trimming some plastic off his boots, when his Swiss army knife slipped and cut across the top of his knuckle, almost cut his tendon in 2. Martin and I jumped in the car and sped off to Chch A&E. We got out of A&E about 11.15pm with instructions to return tomorrow morning for the hand to be operated on. Long story short, Martin had to wait about 40hrs until his tendon was back in one piece and he know has to decide weather he'll stay in NZ for the next 7 weeks of return home to Switzerland. The doctor (depending which one) says 4-12 weeks until he can do anything. Pretty big blow for a young guy with a big future in competitive ski mountaineering.
The "Machine" with the Machine
Lukas stayed up at Cheeseman and we did some more touring on Saturday, before and after work. Sunday was the last day for Cheeseman for the 2008 season so I am now looking for a new job for my first summer in 5 years. Lukas doing a sweet jump on his tiny race gear!
Nasty!
ReplyDeleteDid ya party at Forest Lodge on Sat?
The staff at CV walked out Sat evening looking well fired up for a few drinks.
Sat arvo was the worst snow of the year. Tim, Kath and I skied Avalanche Peak on Sunday and it was quite good.
Nice, how far down Avo could you ski still? Tree line?
ReplyDeleteLukas and hope to do a speed mission on Rolleston if the weather/freezing level allows.
No drinks at Forrest, but heard it was a good night.
You can probably ski 450m+ down from the top on the SE side. We probably put skis on at about 1450-1500m.
