Hi my name is Malcom Collier. I started skiing at Whakapapa in 1976 from Memory. I joined the Otaihape Alpine Club about then and remained a member for many years. I am a farmer from Taihape but these days run a herd of Wagyu cows in the Far North at the foot of another maunga called Pouerua. I am new to this scene here and I must admitt to being a bit shocked to hear RAL was in such difficulty. I am a life pass holder but thave had no communication from RAL or anyone elso up to this point
