FOUR WIDE<br />
Otago's high country<br />
By Tai Juneau<br />
Tai Juneau is a freelance<br />
photographer and digital marketer<br />
who specializes in lifestyle and action<br />
content. Tai spent his entire life in<br />
the outdoor community either in the<br />
mountains or by the ocean. He was<br />
born in the Eastern Sierras of the US<br />
and raised in New Plymouth, New<br />
Zealand. He recently retired as a ski<br />
racer who spent time on the New<br />
Zealand Ski Team before racing for<br />
Colorado Mountain College in the<br />
western NCAA circuit.<br />
Tai currently splits his time between<br />
Oakura, New Zealand and Steamboat<br />
Springs, Colorado. His freelance work<br />
includes landscapes, architecture/<br />
real-estate, product, and sport/event<br />
photography.<br />
Old Friends<br />
“It's only about 3-4km. Should be at the<br />
hut by about noon” said Nick.<br />
“Sounds great, I am excited about a<br />
New Zealand Hut trip” I reply.<br />
“I am taking it easy on my ankle the<br />
physio says to only go on even terrain<br />
and no carrying weight,” says Nick. It<br />
has been a long time since I had seen<br />
Nick and just under a decade since we<br />
ski raced at Coronet Peak together. The<br />
great thing about old friends is that you<br />
pick up exactly where you left off. It's<br />
like you never left them. Nick and I both<br />
share a passion for the mountains, but<br />
little did we know how much work we<br />
had set out in front of us.<br />
