This is the view from the top of the "groomed" toboggan run we have been perfecting since we got here. Tonight's excursion was the best yet seeing as there was at least a foot of powder to play in above the snow that had been there previously. Plus it was about -10 today, so the faces were seriously cold going down the hill. Bryce actually lost some feeling in his hand, which was the sacrifice he made from taking these photos. Good work, B!
The last run I took today, almost ran me right into the deck at the top of this photo.
Here is my nephew Asher and myself going up the hill for another run down. He was a pretty good sport about it, except when his face was filled with snow from going down the hill and getting the full face shots of snow. Always good to be the "safe aunt" sitting in the back and using my nephew as a face protector!!
The climb up the hill, and some "fancy" photography of the descent, done by Bryce. He was fiddling with flashes and shutter speeds, and I was just the model/subject who had a sore bum after taking run after run. No complaints though. It will be fun to look back on these photos in a few weeks while I am back in New Zealand, in the "hot sun" wearing jandals....
Just so you know...the forecast (which unlike NZ is usually pretty accurate 3 days ahead of time!) for tomorrow is -20 in the morning, plus the windchill. Brrr...
