Queenstown

Woke up at 6 and saw that coronet peak was closed today but Remarkables was open - our bus pass is for coronet peak though..
We spent at least and hour this morning trying to get through on the phones to be able to change the booking.
We called maybe 15 times before we got through.
Long story short is they cancelled todays not yesterday so we have to get a $40 taxi to a different pick up point.
I’m not mad we had a slower start today. I’m knackered.
And nervous for Will. He says his hip is a bit better but I don’t trust him. Lol

A little bib high stress. We ordered our taxi for 9 - it’s a 10 min drive to Frankton where we had to head the bus but at 9:15 the taxi still hadn’t arrived 😬
We got there a bit late but thankfully the bus was still there.
It’s currently 9:55 and I think it’s waiting cause traffic is a chockers because everyone is trying to go up the mountain.
Napped on the bus again lol

I just simply don’t enjoy the snow and that’s ok. The limited movement, 50,000 people in your way also inhibited by their gear and just general 62 layers pissed me right off.
I
Put my boots on and fuck me my calves and shins are on fire. Like someone just constantly punching a bruise.
Walked like a spastic starfish to a point where I could put the skis on. Everyone moving 500 times faster and I don’t know how I just keep sinking into the snow.
I’m trying to hard to be thankful to be here but it’s snow tedious bs.
We got separated on the lifts to I was with a bunch of strangers and the lift closed on my poles so I had to supported them above my head the whole way up lol.
Got off the lift ok.
Thats when it all went downhill. Couldn’t turn like I could in my lesson. I can do it on flat but on a hill I don’t have the weight and strength.
I pizza stance or breaker literally the entire way down the mountain. We made jade and Ian go infront because I had to stop twice because I had the most horrendous calf cramps that I was crying.
It was really scary in parts. I was breaking but no stopping.
Had to stop again and had another mildly hysterical cry and apologized to Will. He was so good about it. He only had to get me to the bottom of the mountain and i said he’d be rid of me 🤣
Took minimal/some pics after my second meltdown cause i knew it was last chance hahah
Getting my fat ass back up in skis is impossible too. I don’t know howwwww
Take away is that snow sports suck, give me some ice skates. 🤣
Am now by myself in the cafeteria. I’ve had chips and gravy which were was delicious but were $24 😬😬😬 they had no forks so I’m just eating with my fingers but I’m on an elevated bench for everyone to look at ahah

Everyone found me and had lunch. Falling asleep at the table. 😪

They all went off to do the harder runs and I did the beginners section. I had much more fun! Hot tip - stay within your capabilities 😓
Seems logical, if something is beyond your ability win enjoy it.
Would happily ski again, will be wanting lessons an only beginners section tickets. I don’t thin Will will want to come with me again though 😅
I did 4 rounds - would have been more but some goose does not understand what the world alternate means which is what you are suppose to do when merging the lines for the convey belt.
She just stood there and let I’d say 30+ people from the other line through.
Ffs tick tock.
I don’t know why I can’t turn on the steeper hills. Im a ok on beginner hill.

Bunch of boys I believe at a bucks party all in speedos.
Going to freeze.
Weather is beautiful today.

Good timing I finished a run as the others were boarding past and said they were done for the day.

Currently on the ski bus and keen to return all our crap.
