Kia ora katou, Welcome to Winter 2019. Since construction began in the late 80s/ early 90s, the quirky Cardrona “toy town” Base buildings have been a part of us. Every new building, every extension tells a story of our rich history. They’re stories we love, & stories we want to hold on to. So when it came to improving our buildings & physical space so they matched our culture, a process that began five years ago, an important decision was made. Instead of sending our unique Base buildings to landfill, we decided to keep them. We affectionately named this process “Project Alchemy” – an “upcycling” project where we took our existing buildings & made them gold with upgrades, extensions, & the repurposing of spaces. Our new entrance is a major part of Alchemy. It has enabled a more obvious flow & was the tetris move we needed to relocate retail & create more seating in the cafés… something we were all desperate for! This extra café space is now the Base Bar & we hope it will be an easy spot to start & finish your day, & meet up with friends. This summer Alchemy also included the upgrade of six more apartments, a new Snow Sports School reception as well as a full upgrade of Kindy & Kids Club. As disappointed as we were to not get Pringles Quad finished in time for this winter, we are stoked to be looking after our wildlife & learning more about our lizard population; how we can manage them & protect them going forward. The hard-core ones of us, who are willing to boot it out, will get to explore Pringles this season as we extend our boundary into it & offer gated access. It will be a good way to get to know the area well as we continue the project & complete the lift install next summer.

Being the kaitiaki of Cardrona is something we are deeply proud of & we take very seriously. This understanding is what connects our tāngata (people) to our maunga (mountain). The protection of these lizards will be part of the Cardrona Foundation, a set of projects & programmes that focus on looking after the maunga, the wildlife & our tāngata. The other projects include the kārearea (our endangered NZ native falcon) protection programme, the carving, installation & blessing of our pou (which represent the values of Cardrona), & our “Ride Tamariki” programme which will give opportunity for all kids to be able to come to the mountain. These projects are driven & delivered by our whānau (family) as they take on the responsibility of becoming the best people they can be. As we look towards the future we are focused on developing in a way that allows us to define our direction & run our own race. The Soho Master Plan is now in place & we are working through the first stages of implementation. This development will open double the terrain we have now, offering a truly world class experience in Aotearoa. The Kiwi ski day will change completely & become far more of a mountain adventure with different places to go, continually varying terrain & snow conditions, different places to rest & meet friends with specialty food & drink options. We will continue to develop experiences that are new, fresh & can only be done here. A big part of this will be understanding what is important to you, our guests, & how you want to feel when you come visit & stay at up at Cardrona Alpine Resort. If we understand this well, we will be able to discover new experiences & dream big to find that next “must do” in Aotearoa. Part of this is diversifying our experiences & being able to deliver whatever we have

available during all seasons of the year. We’ve already started on this journey with stargazing, dining experiences, luxury accommodation & more shopping! If we can take this to the next level, then we know our goal of being open 365 days is achievable. Our vision for the future is to create New Zealand’s highest little town, Cardrona Alpine Village. It will be part of the tourism circuit that nobody will want to miss, attracting visitors to the region more consistently, filling capacity in the less popular times of the year. This also gives us the new opportunity to offer more year-round employment so that our whānau have consistent work & can finally consider making this place their permanent home. The outcome of this is that competence levels & capability continually improve, & as a result the experiences we offer will only get better. It’s such an exciting time, & we feel privileged to be part of this journey. We hope that you feel the same. We hope you’ll keep giving us your feedback & ideas to ensure we make the right decisions to create the best future we can for all of us, our kids, & those who will come later. We hope that you enjoy this place as much as you can, that it makes you happy & that you feel like you belong here; you are part of it. This is what a life well lived is all about. Our Purpose Kia whai mana mō te maunga, Kia whai mana mō te tāngata Kia whai mana mō ake tonu. . Ngā mihi,

Making a

Map

When it comes to ski area maps, there’s really only one man you call. Jim Niehues is the world’s foremost ski area artist, who hand sketches all his trail maps in incredible detail. Last year we asked Jim to make a new Cardrona trail map – in his words, this is how it’s done… BY JIM NIEHUES one – After reviewing the supplied aerial photography & various perspectives from GoogleEarth, a rough thumbnail sketch is drawn & sent for approval. It is in this stage that many areas are stretched or distorted to show all terrain as equally as possible. This thumbnail’s perspective is from a point almost 90 degrees from Quartz Ridge in the middle of Cardrona’s terrain. This means that the front is being viewed from an angle which foreshortens the terrain greatly, diminishing the space as compared to the backside terrain. In order to represent the front in a relative relationship to the back, it was necessary to distort & stretch all front-side terrain from the actual aerial photography. The trick is to keep everything relative, so the skier interprets the distances & space as they ski.

the aerial photography becomes imperative for slope detail. GoogleEarth leaves much to be desired; not showing cliff detail & since it can be as much as 40 feet off, deep gullies or sharp ridges become rounded & featureless.

Cardrona’s undulating slopes.

four – This is the final sketch after input from Cardrona’s team. The front side is stretched further due to consideration of new future terrain & features. I like to think a map is in the best interest of the skier when it represents the mountain as they ski, not with its absolute dimensions. It is a visual representation of what the skier will experience.

five – The sketch is projected onto the painting surface to transfer exact detail, as it was approved. The surface of the illustration board is coated with gesso so the gouache watercolor pigment will lie on top, remaining more brilliant. This also allows me to lift the pigment where it is unwanted, which means in the future an area can be repainted & blend into the existing rendering without detection.

nine – White is then airbrushed to lighten the transcending shadows, adding reflected light (the light that is cast back from opposing surfaces). After this I will airbrush pink & turquoise into certain areas to give the snow iridescence.

ten – After the snow is finished, the cliffs are added. Roads are painted with minimal strokes using a very long bristled brush called a liner. I have different sizes for different sized roads, near or far in the horizon. Then the features & buildings are added. The cars in the parking lots & a few on the road become the last items… except for signing the painting!

six – The sky is the first paint applied (with the airbrush). A clear frisket is applied over the horizon. I cut along the distant mountain peaks to protect them from airbrushed overspray as I paint in the sky. Then I move down the board with a brush to paint the intricate range of mountains, valley & features. You can see the blue outline to guide me as to where to show shadows of the terrain.

Introducing the

Cardrona

FOUNDATION Ko a h a u te M a u n g a , ko te M a u n g a ko a h a u I am the mountain, & the mountain is me

Here at Cardrona, we have a special connection to our people, our mountain & our future. We have a culture of genuine respect for all who come here, all who have been, & all who will come here in years to come. We know that we are the kaitiaki (guardians) of our maunga (mountain), & we are working to fulfil this role every day. We want to deepen this connection & take it to a whole new level. That’s why we’re proud to announce that this year we are launching the Cardrona Foundation – an organisation of guardianship, protection & conservation.

The goal We are in a unique position to be an advocate for worthy causes & support a stronger community. We want to start a cycle of giving, well-being, & conservation that ripples through our community to make our place, people & future as good as they possibly can be.

H E A RT of G O L D

Our first projects

NOW

THE FUTURE

– A major replanting project is underway, with teams of summer staff instating native plants.

– Over the next five years, we want to establish 1000 native trees up on the mountain.

– A nursery is being built at the base of the mountain, on our land near a water supply at the bottom carpark.

– By 2024, we want to have reseeded 50ha of disturbed land.

– We’re harvesting seeds around the mountain to grow in the nursery. – Local schools have asked to be involved in our replanting projects, so we’re including the kids & helping to educate them about horticulture & kaitiakitanga.

The

The kārearea is New Zealand’s only native falcon. The Department of Conservation list the New Zealand falcon as “Nationally Vulnerable”, which means that these birds have an uncertain future & need our help. Up at Cardrona we share our maunga with New Zealand falcon families, & we want to protect them so they can thrive & grow in population numbers in this area.

NOW – We’re working alongside Parker Conservation, DOC & the local community to study our local kārearea breeding pairs & nesting habitats.

THE FUTURE – This year, the annual Real Journeys “Birds of a Feather” ball is raising funds for the kārearea programme.

– We have established 25 predator traps around the mountain to protect the kārearea.

H E A RT of G O L D

We want to make sure every child in our region is able to come skiing, with no barriers because of financial situation. NOW – We’re working with local schools & organisations to identify children/families who need assistance to get skiing or snowboarding.

THE FUTURE – In addition to this, Winter 2019 will see our first weekend development programme that offers a life-changing experience in the mountains for underprivileged teenagers.

– Cardrona team members will personally visit local schools to meet the kids & work with the schools to identify families in need. By 2024, we want to be visiting 20 schools each year.

The Marae to Maunga project is part of a larger goal of creating a space on the maunga (mountain) where our community comes together to celebrate our culture, history & share learning together. We are working very closely with local iwi to ensure that our initiatives in this space are respectful & inclusive. NOW – For this winter, five carved pou will be placed on our maunga, connecting our culture & heritage to our five core Cardrona values. – Tukutuku panels will also be installed to tell rich stories of our ancestors & landscapes. – We’re consulting with tangata whenua to develop new ideas/ways to represent a bi-cultural New Zealand at Cardrona.

H E A RT of G O L D

THE FUTURE – Priority is being given to te reo Māori as well as its tikanga. – Our values are explored from the perspective of their Māori meaning, creating a space for the best of both contemporary & indigenous knowledge to drive us to our goals. – Kapa haka, mihi, karanga & karakia are used regularly to enhance formal occasions both on & off the maunga.

– To make Cardrona a place of welcoming, learning, community & culture, by 2024 we want to have a waharoa (gateway to the region’s history) & marae established in a place where all our community can learn & grow together.

Carting at Cardrona

An afternoon of adventure in the hills Te x t & p h o t o s b y L i z C a r l s o n @youngadventuress

H E A RT of G O L D

Winding my way up the familiar road to Cardrona in the middle of summer, with dust behind me & the mountains where I snowboard each winter ahead, I couldn’t help but roll down the windows & soak it all in. How great is it that we can access some of the best alpine corners of Wanaka by car? A different world once the snow melts & the flowers bloom, seeing Cardrona in the middle of summer without her white fur coat on is a bit jarring at first - she’s naked! But as I cruised into the parking lot of the base building & scored a spot right up in the front, the familiar terrain greets you in a new & exciting way. Today I was trying something totally new & different for me: mountain carting. Butterflies began to soar in my stomach as my nerves began to wake up & make themselves known. I checked in with friends & headed to the safety briefing to get suited up for a day of downhill adrenaline on the mountain. Looking back now, I can’t help but laugh at the fact that I was nervous, but I didn’t really know what to expect when I agreed to go up for a girls’ day of mountain carting. I imagined that it would hurt a lot more to crash on

dirt than when snowboarding, & having spent plenty of time on my ass learning to snowboard years ago, I was expecting the same when trying to cart for the first time. What if I went off a cliff? Little did I know that it’s actually quite hard to crash, let alone crash badly. A relatively new offering by Cardrona to take advantage of the mountains without snow, the custom three-wheeled carts built in Germany are vaguely reminiscent of the luges that delight all. Strong & secure, the carts sit low to the ground with brakes on the handlebars. Far too scared to take on downhill mountain biking in summer (one too many faceplants over the handlebars is enough for me), carting seemed to be a more chill & relaxed alternative. Heaps of fun without the possibility of faceplants. With custom, bespoke trails made just for carting down the familiar runs at Captain’s & in the Main Basin, of all different sizes, we picked out some after suiting up in overalls (complete with a killer name - just call me, Rambo), a full-face helmet & goggles, & having a quick safety briefing to cover all the basics. With dozens of people up for the day, pumping each other up & cracking jokes, you can’t help but

H E A RT of G O L D

smile & get excited! Carting at Cardrona is definitely the perfect group activity with friends & family. Even little kids can do it & ride with an adult. The joy was infectious. This would totally be the perfect hens or stag do. Grabbing our carts, we headed over to the iconic McDougall’s lift, watching the summer lifties banter about & hook the carts onto the back of the chairlifts, before walking up & just sitting down as the chair comes around. It’s so much easier on your own two feet than on a snowboard! With the fresh mountain breeze keeping the scorching heat at bay, it was fascinating to see the familiar Cardrona landscape bereft of snow. You can see where the park jumps are & notice the familiar runs back down to the Base buildings where I’ve spent many days in the winter time slipping & sliding around on the piste. In summer, the vibe around the lifts is a lot more relaxed & casual, & it’s fun to take in the views without wearing heaps of layers or gear.

H E A RT of G O L D

Separate from the mountain biking trails, the carting runs are easy to spot & clearly marked out, with tyres padding the corners for more aggressive riders, & names clearly signposted. You’re definitely not going to get lost or end up on the wrong trail. As I climbed into my seat for the first time & propped my feet up on the pedals, the first thing I noticed was how stable & comfortable I felt. With my nerves quickly evaporating, I kicked off & followed my friends down my very first run, quickly getting the hang of carting. I found myself getting faster & faster with each passing run, becoming more confident, even trying to see if I could kick up dirt on the corners & beat my friends. Watching the other groups hoon around even crazier than us made me laugh! For those of you looking for a fun day out with friends in the hills but aren’t mountain bikers, I can heartily suggest carting at Cardrona. By the end you’ll be so confident you’ll be racing your friends around the corners, kicking up dirt clouds on purpose & elbowing each other to the front of the lift lines.

BENEXT by Alex Kerr

“I remember when I was about 10 years old, we were doing a project in class, you had to talk all about you. I drew a halfpipe, some jumps, some rails, a snowboard, the Olympic rings & the X Games logo. That’s the moment I look back on that I knew I wanted to do this.” Z O I S A D O W S K I - S Y N N O T T World Champion, X Games gold & silver medallist & Olympic bronze medallist Zoi Sadowski-Synnott talks about her love of snowboarding & her childhood dream of competing at the sport’s most prestigious events. It wasn’t long before that focused 10-year-old had the wheels of a competitive career in motion & was on the pathway to winning medals. By the age of thirteen Zoi had been Junior Nationals champion four years in a row, trained with the Cardrona Parks Squad, & was on Snow Sports NZ’s Talent Development programme. “When I was 12 years-old I started properly training with a coach… I wanted to compete,” she explains. “About two years out from the Olympics I got selected for the New Zealand snowboard team. That was the moment I knew I could make it.”

H E A RT of G O L D

Nico Porteous tells a similar story of turning a ‘childhood’ dream to reality, also training at Cardrona & joining the Snow Sports NZ Talent Development programme around the age of 12. Nico went on to become NZ’s youngestever Olympic medallist – on the same day as Zoi Sadowski-Synnott – at just 16 years old. “To wear the fern on my chest & to be around my team mates & walking in to something I’d only dreamt of was incredible. It was a once in a lifetime feeling.” N I C O P O R T E O U S In January 2019 a new generation of New Zealand freeskiers & snowboarders were in the US on a Snow Sports NZ National Development Training Camp & got to see Nico & Zoi in action at the X Games. Used to seeing them training here at Cardrona, the NZ Park & Pipe team’s home resort, it was a whole new experience watching NZ athletes winning medals at one of the sport’s most prestigious events. The experience has fuelled the young athletes’ own ambitions. “When Nico landed a really good run, I felt really happy,” says 14-year-old skier Samantha Johnston. “It’s cool because he’s kind of the same as us, he comes from the same place as us. It makes me feel like it’s achievable.” “I was really proud of my country at X Games because Nico & Zoi both got medals,” explains skier Fin Melville-Ives. “Nico really inspired me in the pipe when he landed his run, it made me think I want to do that one day.” What would it take for these youngsters to be next in line for Olympic, X Games or World Cup medals? Is it just a matter of doing exactly what Nico & Zoi did, & before them trailblazers like Jossi Wells & Christy Prior? Ask Nico or Zoi what the ‘secret’ to success is & their stories begin: “For me it was a really special case…” (Nico) & “My journey to the Olympics wasn’t exactly conventional…” (Zoi).

Jossi Wells & his brothers were practically born on skis & began shredding around Cardrona not long after learning to walk. On the other end of the spectrum, snowboarder Christy Prior didn’t even learn to ride until she was in her late teens & has gone on to win World Cup & X Games medals. Evidently, our Kiwi medalwinning athletes have all followed their own unique pathway. While there may not be a one-size-fits-all plan, what you do see are certain common & particularly key elements: hard work, competition experience, a solid support network, & good coaching. As Zoi explains, a lot goes on behind the scenes & elite athletes don’t work in isolation. “They’ve got their whole crew, their coach, their strength & conditioning trainer, their parents, their friends, their family, so many people supporting them with what they do.” “I went from being a weekend warrior to an athlete with a structured training programme,” says Nico, describing how everything changed once he & his brother Miguel started working with former Cardrona Parks Squad & now Snow Sports NZ coach Tommy Pyatt. For those inspired by New Zealand snow sports athletes winning on the world stage, signing up for a training programme like the Cardrona Parks Squad & having a go at a few competitions are great first steps. In Nico’s words: “If you’re that kid that was sitting on the couch watching the New Zealand team at the Olympics & saying, aww that could be me one day, well then don’t sit on the couch any longer, get up, go ski, enter that first competition & always make sure you’re having fun.”

Shredding the stigma: Mental Health on the Slopes by Mel Haarer It’s no secret that skiing & snowboarding offer exceptional physical health benefits. But it’s not just about getting fitter – there are proven mental health & wellbeing benefits of spending time out on the slopes. Doctors are increasingly prescribing regular exercise for those struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression, & heading to the mountain for a day of skiing or snowboarding is the perfect opportunity to heal & balance ourselves both physically & mentally. So how can skiing & snowboarding help your mental wellbeing? HAPPY HORMONES Exercise promotes neural growth, reduces inflammation & creates new brain activity patterns that can improve your mood. Studies have shown that when you ski or snowboard, your body releases a multitude of feel-good chemicals that influence your sense of happiness, boost your short-term mood, reduce anxiety, & provide an overall sense of wellbeing & contentment. M O U N TA I N A I R , BLUE SKIES & SUNSHINE Taking a deep breath of fresh, oxygen-rich mountain air, being surrounded by nature, while enjoying the bright sunshine is an ideal combination for boosting happiness. Studies have shown that regular fresh air enhances our immune system & decreases stress.

H E A RT of G O L D

Being outside on the slopes in the sunlight provides the natural dose of Vitamin D our body requires, generating several benefits including helping fight disease, reducing depression, & boosting weight loss. BETTER SLEEP

Deep sleep is essential for a healthy body. The feeling of well-earned exhaustion after a day out on the slopes is rewarded with slow wave sleep, the restorative component of sleep which enables us to feel refreshed & rejuvenated in the morning. SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT

From beginners learning a new skill to advanced skiers & boarders mastering their technique, snow sports are unparalleled in their ability to offer improved fitness, balance, concentration & ultimately, self-confidence. CONNECTION

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending time with old friends, taking a family holiday or making new connections, socialising is the perfect tonic for your mental health. Being on the mountain enhances social, emotional & communication skills, creating stronger connections. Making memories with family & friends, old & new, whilst limiting technological distractions increases happiness, wellbeing, & your overall quality of life. What about when the fun stops? Living & working in a ski resort & having the mountains at your feet can come with a caveat. The seasonal, transient nature of living & working in a ski resort raises some concerning challenges: the disruption of living in an unpredictable environment, the inability to partake in your sport of choice for up to 6

months a year (although Cardrona offers a suite of summer sports to compensate), swapping the Vitamin D for short dark days, injury-enforced down days, fleeting connections with people who move on & donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return, lower paid jobs in a wealth-gripped environment & for some, substance misuse arising from self-medication during the quiet, powder-free months. Challenges on this scale can trigger a number of mental health issues. Te Rau Hinengaro: The New Zealand Mental Health Survey (2006) identified nearly half of all New Zealanders are likely to experience a mental illness at some point in their lives, with depression & anxiety being the most common. So how can we look after ourselves? The Five Ways to Wellbeing Research has shown that incorporating these five simple things into your daily life will help to build resilience, boost wellbeing & lower your risk of developing mental health problems: C O N N E C T: Strengthening appropriate relationships & feeling close to & valued by others is critical to boosting wellbeing. Connect with the people around you; with family, friends, colleagues & neighbours. K E E P L E A R N I N G : Being curious & seeking out new experiences positively stimulates the brain. Try something new, rediscover an old interest, take on a new activity. B E A C T I V E : Being physically active improves

physical health, can improve mood & wellbeing, & decrease stress, depression & anxiety. Go for a walk or run, step outside, do some gardening, play a game.

H E A RT of G O L D

G I V E : Carrying out acts of kindness, whether small or large, can increase happiness, life satisfaction & general sense of wellbeing. Do something nice for someone, thank someone, volunteer your time. TA K E N O T I C E : Paying more attention to the

present moment, to thoughts & feelings, & to the world around us, boosts our wellbeing. Remark on the unusual, notice the changing seasons, savour the moment. Learn to live more in the present by noticing your breath. Recognizing the signs that a friend/family member may need help: S I G N S O F A N X I E T Y:

> > > > > > > > > > >

Excessive worrying; Feeling agitated Restlessness &/or irritability; Fatigue; Loss of confidence or self esteem; Irritability; Using alcohol or drugs to stay calm; Trouble falling or staying asleep; Panic attacks; Avoiding social situations; Irrational fears.

About Mel: Connect & Care

A few years ago, Queenstown-based Mel Haarer identified a lack of mental health support & limited resources in our local region. Mel established Connect & Care, a community social enterprise initiative to encourage people to reach out & show their vulnerability during tough times. Her emphasis is on community “advocacy” during facilitation. As part of a

community pilot scheme, Mel also offers employers, including Cardrona, a series of “Wellbeing Awareness” workshops, & is establishing a “Connection Army” to provide a platform to further promote the 5 Ways to Wellbeing within the local community. You can contact Mel on mel@connect-and-care.co.nz

a world first at Cardrona When we began our major development programme with the McDougall’s Chondola, we looked to set an example of what infrastructure development needs to look like if we’re serious about creating a better future for our mountain, our people & our local economy.

Back in 2015, we spent a heap of time looking at constraints for our guests around the mountain. The big two that we identified right off the bat were the Base buildings (including our cafés & ticketing), & the old, slow McDougall’s Quad.

H E A RT of G O L D

If you read our first edition of Heart of Gold in 2016, you’ll know that we saw an opportunity with the McDougall’s replacement project to set a new standard for tourism infrastructure projects in New Zealand. We wanted to leave our maunga better than we found it, so we partnered with Doppelmayr Lifts NZ & consultants Tonkin + Taylor to get everyone involved with the project on board with our sustainability goals. We did a lot to prepare for the future with the McDougall’s Chondola project, including: Making sure the lift met current & future needs (including the Soho development & summer operations) Waste reduction & recycling Revegetation Reusing major components of the McDougall’s Quad for the new Pringles lift We used the Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) Rating Scheme to check in throughout the project & see how we were going. It’s the only comprehensive rating scheme in Australia & New Zealand that evaluates sustainability across all stages of infrastructure projects.

We achieved some pretty incredible things with the McDougall’s Chondola, including: Reducing impact on the land by following the alignment of the old lift A major revegetation project with the existing tussocks removed, restored, & replanted, & a further 3000 tussocks sourced & planted All spoil reused on-site 94% of inert & non-hazardous waste diverted from landfill Reduced use of concrete & steel, using more sustainable alternatives Last year, the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) certified the McDougall’s project with an “Excellent AsBuilt” rating. This was a big deal because it was: The first IS As-Built rating in New Zealand The first IS rating for an alpine resort infrastructure asset globally The first IS rating for a tourism infrastructure asset globally

THE FUTURE Our sustainable development goals haven’t ended with the Chondola project – we’ve been taking what we’ve learnt to everything else we’re doing, & encouraging others in our industry to do the same. McDougall’s taught us so much about sustainability, & we’re constantly applying that new knowledge to our new development projects. Our Base building project & the Pringles lift install are upcycling at its best – taking existing buildings & the old McDougall’s lift, & using them in new ways to improve capacity & flow through the resort. This summer we’ve shuffled around our Base buildings, with a new ticketing/welcome area at the end of the Rentals building, the retail shop moving into the old Ticket Office, & more Base Café seating going into the old retail shop. Everything we learnt about sustainable lift installation has gone into the Pringles project – we’re working with Doppelmayr again, who are dedicated to helping us achieve our goals in this area.

H E A RT of G O L D

Our team have also been sharing their knowledge & lessons-learnt with all the other New Zealand mountain resorts, universities & developers to show that making infrastructure decisions with sustainability at the front of mind can be done. We’re proud to set a positive example, & we’re excited to see how the New Zealand ski industry uses this knowledge in their future developments. Looking after our maunga has become something we just do – you’ll notice small changes around the resort every year to make our mountain the best it possibly can be, reducing our impact on the environment as much as we can. We’re looking at how we can be better in every area of our operations, & we’re so grateful to all our people for joining us on this very important journey!

THE SOUNDS OF

Summer

By JAME S MULC AHY

The sounds of summer at Cardrona are a mixed bag of exhilaration, intensity & pure joy. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear them much louder than you will on the epic descent that is the Cardrona Peak to Pub.

H E A RT of G O L D

! w w eee

Blink & you might miss it driving up the road, a thin ribbon of brown gold snaking down through the tussock as you round the bend at Helicopter Flat. It’s something you probably wouldn’t even look at twice at in your excitement to hit the slopes. A subtle hint appears a couple of turns further up where it crosses the road, but many who visit Cardrona only in the winter again wouldn’t notice…

p a a a raa

For the past five years, Cardrona Bike Park has quietly been building a reputation for putting the mountain back into mountain biking. With expansive views & a growing trail network that has potential to rival some of the best, the word is getting out. High on the list of those must-do rides sits the Peak to Pub. A grade 3 trail for confident intermediate riders & above, the Peak to Pub offers a heli-like descent with over 1100 vertical metres along its 10km length. With the first portion of the trail starting in the bike park, riders can choose any number of routes including Long Black, the lower NZ Nationals DH course, or the more popular Crankshaft, a flowing blue trail full of swooping berms & mellow jumps. Dropping below Valley View out of the regular ski area & down onto Mag Ridge, the trail follows the ridgeline & into the section above Helicopter Flat that was the recipient of a complete rebuild at the start of the 18/19 summer. A unique ‘toilet bowl’ feature, just visible from the road, has riders looping around & back over the trail before descending onto open single track in a wide-open blast to the bottom. Hard on the brakes & back into a bit of tech down through Green Gully before you emerge on the Cardrona Valley Road, hands & arms are burning but they’re accompanied by a grin that will take some getting rid of. No one would deny the fact that this trail is a test of endurance & one that definitely deserves a celebration at the bottom. Conveniently enough, situated 200m from the trail’s end resides the historic Cardrona Hotel, a favoured après spot in the winter & the perfect place to kick back & regale the day’s adventures. With the body weary & the mind buzzing at the sight of the mountain you’ve just conquered, the only question left is when you’ll be back for more!

Quietly sipping on a coffee upstairs in Cardrona’s Lounge are three women dressed for a day on the mountain. Clearly three generations; you might guess that they are related, that they love the outdoors & that they come from the hospitable south (urging, more than once, “you must try a Cardrona cheese scone”). What you would never guess is that these three unassuming women, & their family, helped build one of New Zealand’s largest, most successful, privately-owned group of tourism companies. Better known as Real Journeys, it is now called Wayfare.

On The Board

BY TSEHAI TIFFIN

At 93, Olive, Lady Hutchins has a straight-up, strong southern look about her until a young great-grandson scrambles up the steep stairs to throw his arms engagingly around her & her face softens. Olive is the co-founder of the original tourism venture 65 years ago: the Manapouri-Doubtful Sound Tourist company. It was she who had the “absolute faith” in her husband Les Hutchins’ dream to share his passion for Fiordland with the world. It was Olive who agreed to leave their secure life & steady income in Invercargill to ask the bank for an overdraft to buy two dilapidated boats to take tourists into remote, inaccessible, Doubtful Sound – renowned for its unpredictable wild wet weather. Together, they faced what has been described as “almost impossible odds”. “Well Les was the motivator, no doubt about that – but he would talk things over with me, tell me what he was going to do first, I had five children to look after!” Sitting beside Olive is her eldest daughter, Robynne Peacock. The woman sitting opposite is Olive’s granddaughter, Madeleine. They have just come out of Wayfare’s 2019 AGM & the other children, partners & most of the 12 grandchildren & 28 great-grandchildren can be heard chatting & laughing downstairs at this – one of their two annual get-togethers. Les Hutchins may have started it, but the company has thrived because of the passion & love for the tourism industry that has largely been instilled in the family by its matriarch. Olive sat on the board from day one. “I had a good voice in it too,” she recalls. “There was Les & I, our accountant Mervyn Gillick & Cliff Barnes – the operations manager. We had surprisingly long board meetings because there were an awful lot of ideas thrown around.” They were ideas that led to the company acquiring Fiordland Travel Ltd, which included Te Anau Glowworm Caves & Milford Track Lake Transport. Even more ‘out there’ was saving the TSS Earnslaw from being scuttled (the last steamship left on Lake Wakatipu) & turning it from a failing freight & passenger transport service to a tourism venture. By 1970, the company had successfully challenged the government monopoly in Milford Sound & began competing operations in the fiord. “As Hutchins kids it was a ‘given’, in the school holidays we were on the boats hostessing,” says Robynne. “The company’s been part of my life since I was two, it’s part of my identity.” Her earlier memories are of helping her mother with the catering. They made the sandwiches

for the cruise picnic lunches in their kitchen at home in Manapouri – a house that for the first five years had no electricity.

“I know we have to look after the company for future generations,” says Madeleine. She is equally as passionate about preserving the land.

“Mum had a tilley lamp, kerosene fridge, petrol washing machine & a gas stove,” recalls Robynne.

Her grandfather, Les Hutchins, was named a Distinguished Companion of the NZ Order of Merit (the non-titular equivalent of a knighthood) for his services to both tourism & conservation. In 1973, Les Hutchins was appointed one of the founding Guardians of the Lakes (Manapouri, Te Anau & Monowai) as a result of the Save Manapouri campaign. Forty-four years later, Madeleine is now one of the Guardians of the Lakes – a position appointed by the Minister of Conservation.

After getting married & gaining her own tourism business experience, Robynne joined Olive as the second woman on the company’s board for the next two decades. “Our parents always treated us equally – the same as the boys,” she says. By then, her brother Bryan had taken over from her father as chief executive of the company. “It was all about succession,” she says. “When I started, senior management came to the board meeting in the morning, so it gave you a really good feel for what was happening in the company – although you did worry about it at times.” It had taken years to “make a small profit” & the company has faced more than its share of challenges operating vessels in one of the wildest, most unpredictable areas in the country. By the time Madeleine Peacock was ready to play a part in the family business (“Somehow I got roped into dressing up as the Earnslaw dragon!”), the company had a solid reputation. She went on to spend stints in her university holidays as a boat host, working in the glowworm caves, on the Doubtful & Milford Sound overnight boats, & as a sales consultant, before furthering her tourism career elsewhere. These days she heads up Destination Fiordland, the regional tourism organisation responsible for marketing the Fiordland area. Last year, Madeleine joined the board as part of the Wayfare Future Directors Programme. The programme was set up to help family members gain governance experience & a deeper understanding of the business. It will also provide succession to Wayfare, which now employs up to 1500 staff & has five companies including Real Journeys & Cardrona under its umbrella.

“I feel a weight of responsibility to ensure that the company does operate in a way that still abides by the family values, particularly around conservation & looking after our staff.” All three women have always been proud supporters of the conservation work the company is involved in. When the board was asked to approve a half-million-dollar predator eradication programme on remote Cooper Island in Dusky Sound – its family members did not hesitate. Downstairs, the family is starting to disperse, politely waiting for Olive to come downstairs to say goodbye. “Les would never have envisaged all this,” says Olive looking around. “He would have been so thrilled.” “You feel very emotional. I think Real Journeys – I should say Wayfare – has helped keep us close. It’s a common interest & a common commitment, a huge commitment.” says Robynne. “You treat it like a member of your own family.”

You treat it like a member of your own family.”

CARDRONA’S SUPERHERO! It all started at Cardrona Alpine Resort. Marama & her family were going to the snow. They had bought a 2hr lesson with Max, master skier. When her family arrived Marama was so anxious to start her lesson, because she was still learning to ski she went on the green runs. However more elite skiers were teasing Marama because she was on the green runs. Of course this made Marama sad so she & Max decided to go on the Captain’s Express to step up her skiing. There at the top of Captain’s Express stood Marama, her hair flapping in the wind under her helmet.

“Down we gooooooooo!” shouted Marama as she raced down the mountain. Max said in between gasps for breath, “Are sure you’ve not skied much before, because I’ve never seen someone as good as you!” “I guess I’ve got skiing superpowers,” she replied (not knowing that she did in fact have skiing superpowers). “Let’s have a break & have a hot chocolate at the Captain’s Cafe,” said Max, “Then we can do the rest of the trail.” There sat Marama at the Captain’s Cafe. As she drank, the hot chocolate’s warmth spread through her like a flood. When she had finished her hot chocolate she stood up & put her skis on & away she went, with the thrill of skiing in her veins once again, with Max close behind. What she did not realise was that she was so busy looking for Max that she was heading straight for a jump! By the time she finally looked ahead of her, it was too late, she flew over the jump with her eyes closed.

H E A RT of G O L D

By Jeremy Ouwejan, age 10 When she opened her eyes, she was soaring over the ground so smoothly it was like she was skiing on invisible snow. Soon there was a drop & she plummeted towards the ground. When she looked down there were rocks below her. As momentum carried Marama over snow she flew again! “I must only be able to fly above snow,” she thought. When she got the hang of flying she saw one of her bullies skiing towards a cliff. She wanted to let him fall, but it wouldn’t be right so she swooped down & clamped her hand onto his jacket as he was falling. Looking up he said...

“ Thank you so much, I am forever in your debt!” As Marama put him down she was thinking “I’m a superhero now, so I need a superhero name. Snowflake has a nice ring to it!” & so her name was forged. “Hello,” Marama’s mum said through her Apple Watch, “Come back it’s time to go!” Shaking his head in disbelief, Max skied with Marama back to Base. When she arrived back her mother was talking to the boy she had rescued. “This young man says that you can fly & that you saved him,” her mother said. “Why, he makes me sound like a superhero!” Marama said with a wink to the bully who was now her friend.

THE END.
