dredman Posted June 21, 2021 Report Posted June 21, 2021 I always like the first official day of summer! The days start getting shorter, so winter is just around the corner! And to our Southern Hemisphere riders, Happy First day of Winter! 3 Quote
st_lupo Posted June 21, 2021 Report Posted June 21, 2021 Given that at my latitude I now usually fall asleep at midnight and wake between 4 and 5am, I love hearing that the days are getting shorter! 1 Quote
SunSurfer Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 In the dark Southern climes of New Zealand, ski season has begun with Mt Hutt open with reasonable early season snow. Other fields not so blessed with snow yet. We increasingly celebrate Matariki, the Maori New Year, around this time of year.https://www.tepapa.govt.nz/discover-collections/read-watch-play/maori/matariki-maori-new-year Our Aussie cousins have the Dark MoFohttps://www.darkmofo.net.au/program Personally, I'm making preparations for an August trip to Cardrona & Treble Cone ski fields, with a collection of boards, and a pair of carving skis. Have family & friends joining me for periods of the time away. Hopefully lots of GoPros etc. Aussie travel bubble with NZ has just popped, with a brewing Covid infectious Australian visitor last weekend to Wellington who was symptomatic at time of their return flight and tested positive soon after. That will impact a lot of Australian snow visitors for the school holidays (spread over about 3 weeks) that start in 3 days time. Local impact will become clearer over the next week or so. Quote
lowrider Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Delta variant posed to be the next issue in Canada as well. Toronto hospital celebrated no covid patients then a few days later another hospital reported multiple delta cases of emergency staff with no apparent contact . Enjoy your turns ! What's with the little blue icon ? Already have too many "senior" designations attached to my person ! ! Quote
SunSurfer Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Senior contributor? I'm wondering what the next rank is? Celebrations this morning here too where NZ has won the World Championship in a major sport the USA and Canada really don't play. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jun/23/new-zealand-win-world-test-championship-after-last-day-drama-against-india Quote
