Cutting fire wood

The power line fellas came around and dropped a tree in the front section a few months ago. I went down there and put my tarp over it all as a kind of claim to ownership, because the front section doesn't appear to be ours. People might get to thinking the wood was up for grabs.

I eventually found a chainsaw to loan and cut it all up. We probably got about 2 months worth of wood out of it. The next few days I cut up the vine covered trees out the back. At least another month of wood in that pile too. I quite enjoyed using the saw :)

Out the back of Cardrona on a very windy spring day

Sunshine and I took the dogs out for a walk on Thursday. Turned out to be a bit of an epic. Was very windy, cold, wind formed crust over a lot of teh snow, and an exhausting walk out to the car. You wouldn't really know at all from this happy little video though :)

Mount Cardrona - South Catchment

Sunshine has gone with family to Bali for a week! :(

So I went skiing for 2 days.

I started on the field but it didn't take long to be bored and slightly annoyed by too many people. The urge to be alone and making fresh tracks out back was too much. They say never ski out back alone.. and doing last year's Avalanche 1 course makes me hyper aware of this danger... but it really is a beautiful thing... just me and my dog Mira, running around in the silent beauty of soft spring snow.
