Sunny skiing weekend

On Sunday morning I was feeling the start of a cold so I read in a cafe while everyone else skiied. Wow that was a bad decision! Turns out it was a great day to ride the mountain; and a lift that had broken down a few weeks ago was repaired that afternoon. (One of the towers actually snapped in half.)

All weekend had been bright and sunny. We could easily spot Mt. Taranaki to the west:


I realized half way through the day that it was the 4th of July!! Pretty crazy way to spend it~
