The Land Of The Long White Cloud

On Mt Hutt above the Pacific Ocean
by Isamu Kubo
There are only few places in the world where you can go Snowboarding in the morning and go for 18 holes of Golfing in the afternoon. Or if you wish you can go and have a surf in the Pacific Ocean later on.

Mt Hutt is a great mountain for Snowboarding on- and off-slope. The road leading up to the ski-resort is adventurous but once up there you can enjoy greatest views to many peaks of the Southern Alps on the North-Western side and down to the city of Christchurch, the Rakaia River and Rakaia Gorge and to the Pacific Ocean on the South-Eastern side.

FULLCARVING

New Zealand is a good place to go for Sport and Nature on the one hand. But what makes a stay in this country unforgettable is the relaxed way to enjoy life. And so it happens that mainly people of common spirits come here to life or just spend some time for their holidays.

A few days ago there was a pretty scary situation when a strong earthquake woke me up in the middle of the night. Fortunately I was ok and the earthquake caused only damages but no casualties. So the trip tis time turned into a kind of adventure. I have visited New Zealand three times during my snowboard-career and I am sure I will come back again already next year. Cheers!

PS: As I am writing these lines another after-shock (5.2) of the earthquake shakes my room 😉
