As you all know Lochie has met a lot of the Cardrona crew over the last 25 days, the below photo is of Lochies favourite Ski patrol member Luke. He’s a real awesome bloke and is always keeping a eye on Lochie to make sure he is safe and well on the slopes
Today marks day 22 of 40 days and Lochie was super proud of himself for getting some air on the jumps, I asked Lochie the other day how much he wants to raise for the Cancer Society he said a trillion dollars, I asked why do you want to raise that much because that’s a lot of money he replied with so I can help lots of Mum’s and Dad’s
The team at Metro Grafix & Design came up with this surprise for Lochie to mark his half way point. He was super excited when he walked around the corner and saw it on the back of my Ute
Well today marks day 20, Lochie had another awesome weekend skiing at Cardrona and catching up with more of his mates from the Cardrona crew, I asked Lochie what’s been the best bit so far he said meeting new friends if you see him about make sure you come and say hi.
The highlight of his weekend was meeting his favourite NZ skier Nico Porteous, it made his day Lochie was amped after catching up with him.
Well Lochie had another good 2 days skiing this weekend, clocking up 35 laps right across all the main slopes at Cardrona,

Lochie is back to school this week so his plan is to ski each weekend over the coming weeks, he got home from school today asking can we go to Cardrona tomorrow please dad it’s a powder day lol, My reply I think we will have to ask your principal Mrs Brooks.
Lochie wants to say a big thank you for all the support so far, he is supper excited each time a donation comes in.
The team at Cardrona have this awesome system for keeping track of your distance covering the slopes and how many runs you have done from your lift pass card log in to your Cardrona pass to check it out.

The kids love seeing Carol each day at Cardrona she is awesome with all the kids and she does a wicked job around the Cardrona base, each morning heading up the hill Lochie will ask me is Nana Carol here today
Lochie is cutting the lines @ Cardrona, so far he’s up to day 15, he’s getting to know the awesome Cardrona crew each day of his challenge it’s hard case everywhere we go along the slopes I hear someone call out hey Lochie, as for dad my body is starting to get sore but when you have a kid with the go get it done attitude out in front Setting a challenge like this it’s easy to forget about a few aches and pains and get my job done of being his pit crew over the 40 days
