POST SKI REWARDS
Making the most of the holidays
You’ve survived the faff of getting everyone up the mountain; the kids forgetting their gloves; the moguls at Treble Cone; trying not to deck yourself in the park at Cardrona to impress your mates. You’ve pushed those not so ski-fit legs to the end of their tether and feel that familiar burn of a day well spent as your pack everyone into the car and roll back to town. The stereo’s blasting
I’m Walking On Sunshine and you know you’ve earnt a cold one.
Some of your party head back to your digs to put their feet up, whilst the rest head straight to the pub to dabble in a little European past time know as Après ski. Throwing on your Mons Shirt, you beeline for the bar hoping to find a volume of froth that likens that of the German
stein, and equally reflects your mood. For some, a more creative Après event is fitting, but then not everyone has a portable hot tub at their disposal.
In true New Zealand fashion, the temperature has dropped out of nowhere, a Southerly has blown up the Matukituki and your refreshing reward takes on a whole new persona of a “cold one”. Luckily you’ve got your Mons on and look around as your compadres shiver into their pints, feeling smug at your regulated temperature and of course, on point style. Thanks merino.
