Well we did it again, and in the best weather ever. The ice at
1,800m (6,000 feet) up the Remarkables was a metre thick this year, and
37 scuba divers went under it, and then back to the Kiwitub. After
they'd left, Nina and Lara arrived to tent out after a hot tub and
bottle of sweet Lexia Riesling under a perfect clear and calm night.
They headed off the next morning across to Wye Creek, gun cross country
skiers that they are. The N.Z. Alpine Club Otago section snowcraft
course descended from on high, tubbed, shared the second bottle of
Lexia, rolled in the snow, and obligingly rolled and carried the tub
and gear back to the pick-up for the snow groomer. A good weekend.
