NZ 2012 : The Grande Finale

Sunrise over the Edgewater.

The day broke upon the final day here at Treble Cone. As always the trip has gone by far too quickly. Once again the sun was the star as the conditions were great. Saddle was the place to be as the groomers were in great shape early. The off-piste started to soften and offered up some great alternatives. Gunbarrels featured in the afternoon and had some sparse but great snow. As the day wrapped up, people started to realize that the dream was winding down for another year. Someone threatened to stay on the bus as they didn’t want to go home and were removed with the promise of a drink in the bar.

Skiing along the Saddle Basin.

Linc’s group.

Erin’s group atop the Saddle.

Meesh’s group, at least most of them.

Reports were written up and then it was off to the Edgewater for the wrap up function. Speeches were spoken, drinks drank and many a tear were shed as good-byes were shared. Some stayed in for dinner while others hit the town. Those leaving in the morning started to pack. The scales came out in the coaches quarters, as Rich and Linc tired to squeeze every last allowable kilo into their bags.

You could be the proud owner of hand signed Gary Wilson balls.

Another YES NZ adventure is drawing to a close. It seems like we just started this trip and now its time to go home. A big thanks to everyone who participated and we hope to see you all on the slopes again soon.

Oh what a feeling…..
