SPRING!!!


Rugby -every year the two sister resorts here in
Queenstown have a Rugby match.- - we won 28-4 -
apparently they haven't heard of the Rehrer juke



The Remarkables from Gold Field Heights -- a Bugs's
house.


The scenery from the Sugar chairlift at Remarks


Lake Wakatipu from the Bath House


I tried to get the sunset but not quite but threw these
photos up anyway. This is the view from our top
balcony.

Brandon and Fez working on the jump

So we we built the 95 footer at Remarks for a photoshoot. Saturday (yesterday) was an amazing weather day. So the shoot was on with the jump getting chizzeled out with here in the photo with the boys tranny shoveling. Long story short, one person hit it and I was on my way up the mountain on snowmobile after waxing my board when Heath got smoked on the knuckle of the jump. He did do a few tricks succesfully. No one else wanted to jump hit once they saw how big it was. Hopefully it's still up when I get back from Mt. Hutt. (another Mountain we are going to for 4 days to do an episode of Diaries Down Under.) I don't know if it will be with the mountain worried about safety issues. (they rope it off during the day but they don't want anything to happen.)

Sasha catching some reeeaaal air here


So we had some boxing matches over 2 nights. Here are some of the photos from the action.

Me helping Browner in between rounds. Browner won


Dutty Rock (Karl) called me up the night before and begged me to box him. Here is a few but I will post some more up later.

Ashelly (Sasha's brother) came into to town for two weeks and mostly stayed with us. We had lots of fun and we will be seeing him soon in Bali. We laughed, we cried, we hugged and celebrated his birthday.

Birthdays, Comps, and fun times in NZ!!!


Day of Semi-Finals at the New Zealand Open at Cardrona

So a lot of stuff has been going on lately and we needed to finally update the blog. With the weather being bad all week, we have sometime to get some things done. The last 3 days the mountain has been shut. It's not bad timing with my shoulder being a little sore from getting the Winter Games ready at Remarkables. If you want to check out more snowboard stuff just check my snowboard blog -- jrehrer.blogspot.com Sasha has been working like 50 hours a week and snowboarding has been full on, with Terrain Park work adding to chaos. Things should calm down with only 2 smaller slopestyles left at Remarks and no big events left. They just added another person to work at the Black Sheep where Sasha works so we will have more time to take photos and hang out.



This is me and Nick at the top of the course. It was also
Nick's birthday. We ended up going to Semi-Finals and
not making it through. We watched the Finals and it
turned into some video games stuff and snowboarding
stepped up 2 notches. It was super fun to be apart of.


That night we went out to Japanese Restuarant for Nick's
birthday. Him blowing out the candles.


Sasha enjoying some Sushi. It was really good.



Sasha, Me, Lynn who got cut off, Nick, Kate his sister,
Amy-Rose his girlfriend, Browner, Jake, and Karl.


The weekend before the open we had the Parklife Invitational and it was a lot of work. 3 full days of hard work of setting up and tearing it down only after having a 2 hour session on it. Needless to say it was super fun and the ledge, the flat down bar, and the doulbe barrel were set up really good. There were about 12,000 people who showed up.

Half Cab 50-50 in back one out

Sasha and her friend Jessy went out to Cardrona for a day and took photos on a gorgeous day. They stopped on the way back at the top of the Crown Range and the Cadrona Hotel.

Some tree they must of really liked.



I can't seem to move some photos around and seem to
just delete them if I try. Switch front board at the
Invitational.


Jessy and Sasha at the rail jam


I started work at 7 in the morning and ended at 12 at
night. (I also started the next day at 6) I rode in it as well
and had a blast. I am seen here salting the landing so the
snow stays there and doesn't melt.

Sasha and I went out to dinner to Flame for free since Ben Wah hooked it up with a Gift Certificate. It was super fun and delicious. Sasha doesn't want to eat meat as of late except ribs. As you can see she was going hard that night. I would have liked more dipping sauce though and it was different being South African style sauce and food. I enjoyed the whole meal with some dessert as well. Maybe we'll check them on next time because as of now the photos only go to the top and I can't get them down here. So I hope you enjoy this post. Man I can't believe how long this takes. It takes a lot effort to do these things. You wifes are amazing. So leave a little love so I don't feel like I'm typing to ourselves.

Long time no post

So here are photos from down here from May and almost all of June. It's been really fun and we will be better at taking photos and posting them.


Maid Marian

As one of our wedding presents we got these amazing date boxes, each box held an activity and tickets and vouchers to do specific things, wehave only done one so far but it was alot of fun.


Robin Hood, (tights included)

We went across to Wanaka to a place called "Have a Shot" where you get to shoot arrows, and guns and clay pigions and stuff. Anyway it turns out that Jordan is a sneaky cheat. But I got him back in the rifle shooting in which he was sufficiently slaughtered to make up for the sneaky cheating in mini golf. All in all it was a really fun day and we have agreed that it was indeed a tie. (due to my shockingly bad archery skills)




The Remarkables, this is the mountain Jordan works on. (one of 1.743 pictures we have of them)



Playing pool, as you can see by our respective faces, Jordan won.
