How would you spend your honeymoon? Sun-baking on a deserted tropical island? Luxuriating in a beautiful European castle? ...or sharing a snowboard backcountry touring adventure with 3 blokes you've never met before and in a NZ high alpine hut for 5 days with those increasingly smelly compatriots? Well there's no accounting for taste is there?
Here's what our honeymoon couple Emari & AJ from east coast USA said about their recent trip to Tasman Saddle with Aspiring Guides & Stefan Sporli, NZMGA.
AJ summed the experience up pretty nicely.... "Being so new to this type of touring we're not even sure at the onset what we wanted except to ride in an environment away from a resort setting. What we learned was to feel wonderfully small, to ride great snow in an amazing place, to push and challenge ourselves....it was simply amazing. Whatever we expected from our experience it exceeded by a longshot."
Actually, AJ also said that the experience was "better than sex!!! " but since they were on their honeymoon we didn't feel that we could comment on that part? After all...what goes on tour stays on tour..right AJ?
