Absolutely gutted that Mt Hutt has been closed for the day due to rain. Should have expected it since the weather has been decent for the past week. It was bound to happen, on the day we wanted to go up. (Forecast was for snow on the mountains when I went to bed at midnight).

12am: Went to bed around midnight after preparing all the necessary warm clothing for the expected ski/snowboarding trip
6am: Stirred from sleep, didn't want to get out of bed though
6:09am: Hongkai smsed asking if it was still a Go because it was raining in Christchurch. Told him to carry on preparing since I did not get any call.
6:23am: Received a call from SnowFun's Andy saying Mt Hutt has closed for the day due to rain.

Therefore, I am going for an early breakfast at 7:30am. Let's see who is up early like me. Maybe other potential skiiers/snowboarders? Or those having exams at 9:30am. Had I known the trip was going to be cancelled I would have gone to town last night. There's like 4 people left on my level, out of 11 of us. I can hear my echo down the corridor at times. Weird, interesting and eerie at the same time.

At least now I can send some postcards which I promised my friends a couple of days back.
