This week it's Mardi Gras weekend in Ohakune. All the accommodation is booked out, and we're full both at Canoe Safaris where we live, and Kings where we work. Around 8000 people come to town for a massive street party on Saturday night, so we're expecting a busy weekend!
This week we've been working more at Kings. On the first 'Big Wednesday' there was a snowboard up for grabs, and a couple of customers and a couple of off duty staff members bought drinks and got raffle tickets to try and win. Robyn turned up at 10pm to pick me up, I bought a drink after work and gave her the ticket, and she won! So before we've had any lessons or even set foot on the mountain, Robyn now owns a brand new snowboard. We think the plan will be to see if we take to it, then get some boots and bindings so she can ride it, lucky devil.
what a fix!! Haha juuuust kiddin , thats ace!! will have to take a video of u trying it out lol hope your both well xx
ReplyDeleteThe Mardi Gras website looks like it's a really good event. Enjoy! Not sure about celebrating the beginning of winter though!!!!
