 Riding Remarkables
Rugged, unforgiving and with no explaining necessary, unique in its man made nature, yet precious for its unpredictable dangers, remarkable in its simplicity, the craggy mountain under snow looks at me, across the lake, adding some smoke, sitting here on this porch, to the clouds that tower over it.
Sure then today when I arrived at Remarkables at noon, after a 2 hours bus ride (20 km -> 10 km/h) on a road that reminds me most closely of those mountain roads in Bosnia that UN Convoys used to reach Sarajevo in 1995, there were no more storage baskets available.
Green trails are easier to spot, because they are essentially the appendages of the winding roads that are used to drive you up the mountain, only they are under snow.

DOC fire crews had been unable to do anything after dark, since the land was too steep and rugged for fire appliances, and smoke and rugged terrain made it unsafe for helicopters without night vision.

 Breakthrough On Skis, Travel
It was remarkable, I knew, to find myself here in the southern hemisphere, still right-side up, not falling off the bottom of the planet - childhood fantasies linger long in our so-called adult brains - but that was merely the beginning of a remarkable collection of remarkables:
This Switzerland of the south Pacific, this lost mini continent with its tough-minded, warm-hearted people, improvising a tenuous transition from agricultural to post-industrial society (trying for an end run around the grimy years of steel mills and strikes) in a setting so outrageous that painters wish they were photographers, and photographers go bananas.
"Getting vertical" was their euphemism for a remarkable skier's game: barrel headlong into a steep wall - the underside of a cornice or a vertical drift - shoot straight up it till you're about to stall and fall, flip an airborne 180 off a hasty pole plant and head back down toward terra-almost-firma.
