Stork Bowl

On Tuesday evening a few of us went up to Stork Bowl to go boarding and skiing. We had a GA with us (experienced mountaineer / climber type people who aim to prevent us falling down crevasses etc) and had to hike up, being roped together for the 1st time up in case we came across any hidden crevasses. It took about 15min to walk up then 1 min to get down. But it was well worth it for making fresh tracks in the fresh snow-sweet :o)
















We managed 4 runs, all excellent and I performed my special 'headside 180' manoeuvre only once. The edge of the bowl formed a natural 1/4 pipe, which was pretty cool. There were spectacular views out over Ryder Bay and as we headed back the sun was setting turning all the mountains pink. Can't think of a better way to spend a Tuesday night and am certainly looking forward to some lovely winter powder days up there.
