I had a really great week skiing last week. We ended up skiing at 3 different mountains. 2 days at Lake Oahu, and one each at Cardrona, and Treble Cone. 4 straight days. My legs were feeling it I can tell you that. We managed to score perfect weather which was fantastic. The snow was great and it was a great trip. Isn't that a great photo of Brent and Ella? I spent 4 days just trying to keep up with her. Having skied since she was like 5, and now at 14 let's just say she knows her way down a mountain. I was really impressed! Talked to quite a few people on the lifts and as soon as speaking they know I'm from the US! Not sure how they can tell right? But they all say that they want to come to the US so they can ski through the trees. Sounds weird, but here there are no trees on any of the ski mountains. So the idea of skiing through trees is a real novelty to Kiwis. The Cardrona Hotel is a really neat hotel/pub we stopped at for hot drinks. It dates back to the 1860's I think. Its been made famous here in NZ thanks to Speights, the most popular beer here on the South Island. It's photo is featured on a lot of their advertisements. A very neat place with lots of character. I'm not sure what Brent and Andy are pointing at in the last photo except maybe the beautiful scenery. No shortage of that!
