However I reckon there's potential to do a VUWTC version of the race, perhaps during study break, and perhaps involving Petey the Pirate Ship as part of it....https://old.vuwtc.org.nz:443/cs/forums/thread/2269.aspxTue, 02 Oct 2007 05:09:26 GMT16d72366-88ed-474a-b0cc-65d60f7c13e3:2269CraigR0https://old.vuwtc.org.nz:443/cs/forums/thread/2269.aspxhttps://old.vuwtc.org.nz:443/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=14&PostID=2269<P>Is anyone interested in doing the peak to powderkeg race? Basically is a race from top of Turoa to the powderhorn in Ohakune. It involves skiing, running, biking and beer sculling so sounds like it would be pretty good fun! Anywho's it's on the 13th of oct. Let me know if you are keen. It costs $50 but you get a half price lift ticket if you don't already have one and there is a bbq etc. at the bottom. You can also do it as a team, need 3 people including one girl (someone can borrow my skirt if you are struggling on that one!).</P> <P>Craig</P> <P>Official info:</P> <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE:8.5pt;COLOR:black;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';">The world famous (in New Zealand) <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';">Peak to Powderkeg</SPAN></STRONG> is taking place <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';">October 13th</SPAN></STRONG> this year so put it in your diary!&nbsp; This is a <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';">super fun event</SPAN></STRONG> that involves competitors Skiing/Boarding from the top of the High Noon Express to the base area.
