Fat Ross and Darrel adopt Mr Wak and change his name to Trevor Kettle

Is one of the things Ben and I spend an excessive amount of time talking about, who would be mum? Who would change Wak's nappies? All important questions. The other great pass time we have developed is singing songs based on NOASC to the tune of the Human League 'Don't you want me', let me now demonstrate our musical talent and low grade wit (possible T'N'R remix? If not Bennan [aka Captain Variety] and I will form a remix collective know as The Telemark Lunges)



{Chorus} 'Don't you work for NOASC?
Noooo I work for a proper company.'

I was working in Splash cocktail ba-ar, when Fat Ross said to me,
I'll give shit jobs and pay less than any other company, etc, etc - errmm. Improvisation. Funny sometimes complete rubbish in my case.

Woah, its been a slow month on the blog front but don't worry, I think I've racked up enough blog biscuits to squeeze out the usual smorgasbord of rubbish for you to ignore.

So there's been a bit of an exodus from here recently, a lot of fork have been taking off after the end of feb. Mainly cause Kat and Georgie left I think. By far the biggest lose is Billy Blog superstar Darrel who's up and left me with no new antics to write about by going home to Wagga Wagga (yes it is a real place) the selfish git. All we do now is remember the good times with D-unit and pretty much spend 90% of our time reminiscing about his zany antics. Lucky for Jamie and Hutch (who came out a couple o weeks ago) got to see the big guy off for his leaving do and although Darrel himself wasn't in glorious form the night included some reckless handling of toddlers, who after being towed behind a car on sleds then got taken along on a pub crawl as a sort of mascot.

My ankle was still a bit on the dodgy side of Jamie and Hutch's visit (henceforth Othello and the Ambassador - not a bad band name) but we got some good shreddin' down, including a sassy rail jam session round a friends house complete with low quality BBQ in the snow and also a second Rutsutsu trip which was off various racks, chains and hooks. It was damn good having some MSOS bluds holdin tings down in Japan and we'll be grateful for any 'birthday cards' for Wen Barren of Cick Nowan that accidentally find their way to the Mt Merry.

n.b. Yes Jamie and Hutch ate almost exclusively fast food daaannng suun.

Hutch's big quote of his visit - 'I'd be such a sex pest if I lived here'

March (MaRRRRRRch if you're a pirate) hasn't brought any new snow and the conditions are pretty mild (like a block of Tesco value cheese) so basically park riding and hikes are the men of the moment, we had a couple of trips out and about too, one to a backcounty mountain called Chitose (possibly), which has hot springs by the run out and an onsen where you cook and egg in it with you, the future is cooking your food with you.

Another hike Ben, Reuben and I did was up a mountain called Iwan'anpuri (maybe). It was a total 'bluebird' of a day and awesome fun, until we decided to get really smart and build a kicker off a cornice in the backcountry, which promptly avalanched after Ben hit it once. Anyone for a Backcountry guide? NOASC tours at your service. It sketched us out a fair bit but we still had a pretty awesome slice of day.

Apart from that we also started working for our 3rd company this season to help out a friend, which led to me having to teach two toddlers how to ski even though I haven't skied in about 10 years, so there wasn't much teaching really and ended up me throwing snowballs at them and encouraging them to fuck around. So that's life here, the end of the season isn't far off now so am having to start making plans for what the cock I'm going to do in April and beyond. Any ideas? Full time blogger, following Darrel about the place? Most likely.















Ben before and after avalanche, mainly our own fault as we opted to build a kicker off a cornice in spring conditions, possibly one of the worst ideas this year....















Some shreddin' and a saftey rave
