    Talking TR: 1cm new of Cold Smoke Stoke - 08/22/07

    SKIING DAY:

    August 22th, 2007

    PLACE OF 1cm DUMP!:

    Remarkables, New Zealand, South Island, Southern Hemisphere

    MATES:

    666, NZphotoslave.

    WEATHER:

    1cm of new P O W D U U U R!!!!!!!!!!! plus windblown pockets

    SYNOPSIS:

    Huge dump overnight...1cm, but considering its also the only place to receive any new snow, the skiing is going to be just spectacular.

    BEATS:

    SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO - "I Believe"



    Up the road, no guard rails = no liability...



    New Moment Melees freshly mounted......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.



    Some cloud, some scenics, some new snow...



    Snow & Middle Earth....



    First tracks on a deep day....1cm.



    NZphotoman takes the first turns down Diagonalator...



    And its buffed-out to the lake...



    666 makes a slough appearance...



    Alta Chute 1cm of new MADNESS!@!#@!#@$#$$



    666 carving the Melees in a Kiwi chute...



    Followed by taking a bite out of some Kiwi fruit...



    Melees suck....



    NzPhotoSlav3 hits up the moguls....



    ...and then into the NASTAR course



    CHOCOLATE CHIP RAIN CARVE..........



    666 still skiing that 1cm of new....



    New Zealand guy from Queenstown skates the local pool...



    ...OMG YESSSSSS!



    This is boring....



    The Chutes get socked into a cloud but we still found endless untracked...of 1cm of new.



    Kiwi-half-pipe...



    Kiwi-Garage Ceiling Quiver....



    Skiing 1cm of new gets me in the mood for Arrowtown lollies...



    Even for 1cm, and afternoon cloud...today was ---------------------



    End of transmission,

    Thanks to Nzphotoslave's massive wifi network, photoshopping skillz, and the endless Peets Long Blacks to make this TR happen...

    Next TR - Remarks session from the summit of the Remarkable Range...

    How come NZ doesn't at least put up guard rails on the roads up to the major resorts? Those roads get pretty dangerous in bad weather and they have huge drops off them...For a place heavily based on tourism it seems pretty reckless...

    I was driving down from treble cone a few years ago on a bluebird day and a car two cars in front went around a switchback. By the time we had come around the corner ppl were running to the edge of the road. They had gone off and dropped a couple 100 metres...

    Dude there are 2 ski resort roads in the entire country that are paved - aka tar sealed. Guard rails? ha!

    They just like seeing the fresh from Auckland, scared out of their fucking minds tourists to drive in the middle of the road.

    Okok, so when do we get to see NZphotoslave's a-stock already? come on miles give it up. I know you have some more posters and brochure covers for Remarkables in there somewhere......

    it's 90-100 degrees over here, help a brother get through a desert summer!

    666....making 1 cm look fun since 1984

    Although, I bet that actually was fun. Especially the candy store part.
