Ski!

This past weekend was the Otago Secondary Schools Skiing Championship. I volunteered to be the school rep and enjoyed skiing at Cardrona and Coronet Peak.

Skiing conditions were tolerable.  There has not been a lot of snow this year but the view were spectacular.  The skiing terrain is a lot different than North American slopes.  All of the skiing is above the tree line.

This is NOT the preferred method for leaving the slopes at the end of the day.  An unfortunate skier being airlifted to Dunedin.
