I've been looking forward to skiing in NZ for months and it finally happened! After growing up so close to the snow I like to think I've got some ski skills. However, I hadn't ski'd in a good 8 years, so I was definitely nervous. Turns out it's just like riding a bike! The snow was decent and I got 8 runs in before the wind picked up.
Skiing in NZ is very different than back home. What's the biggest difference you ask? No trees... none. Also, I went on the largest mountain in NZ and it only had 2 chair lifts. I wasn't disappointed but I'm glad I chose the ski field that I did. This experience really made me miss Mt.Rose and the runs I know so well.
Here are some sideways mountain parrots... otherwise known as Keas. These birds are crazy! They attack cars and eat anything... I mean anything. I sat in the lodge and watch 5 fight over a pair of mittens.
