Ask any hosteller what inspired them to move to <strong>MAC</strong>, and you would most likely receive an answer along the lines of “for an adventure”, “a taste of the outdoors” or “for some sick pow and the park life.” Nine months later, as conquering mountains and exploring the wilderness of Wanaka have become weekly activities, we have achieved this and much more. Hostel <strong>2015</strong> has certainly exceeded all expectations. Our first ‘orientation tramp’ launched us into the year’s actionpacked line up. This included the gruelling 50km Motatapu mountain bike race, rafting the Clutha river (which naturally prompted a few wild raft wars) and the skyline hike up Mt Roy, making for some breathtaking views. Term 3 meant the much anticipated ski season was upon us. All could agree this was a highlight of our year. Sundays were spent on the slopes of Treble Cone cruising around in our hostel squad, hiking the summit, and lapping endless steezy rider runs. Hostel has not only provided a range of incredible adventures, but the opportunity to go heart-to-heart and express our feelings in a controversial survival weekend that will not be forgotten. Epic. Our final year of high school has undoubtedly been hectic; full of bush bashing, hitting jumps and living on a diet consisting primarily of free bread and milk. The endless pranks, involving bed flipping and stripping labels off cans, have also kept us on our toes. But despite all the conflict over a limited supply of fruit and vegetables and one too many missing shopping bags, it has been an awesome experience. Now as the year comes to a close, we realise it is not just the end of our schooling life, but time to part with people who have become our family and a place that has provided us with a lifetime of memories. #yeboi Calypso Hird and Taylor Hawcridge Arawhata: Matt, Sam, Tom, Matt, Sam, Oscar. page 62
