Some More Snowsports!

So we've headed up to Treble Cone a couple more times since our last update and have some nicer pictures to share. Our 2nd day was pretty bad (Monday), with wind, cloud, rain, and blowing snow/ice... We had one good run but overall it looked kind of like this, most of the time:

Riding up the chairlift... Wet blowing snow style!
But then just below the resort on the access road back to the highway, Jacqui took this picture:

But calm and beautiful in the valley!
Then we went back today and had blue skies and sunshine! It was so awesome! The snow is wetter and heavier than at home for sure, probably more like Whistler snow. But overall pretty awesome!

Heading out to the mountain. It's probably like 13 degrees here. lol.
Looking across to Wanaka town on the other side of the lake.
A nice view of the windy windy road up the mountain to the ski hill.

Some nice terrain here for sure! Pretty!
Epic sunny bluebird day!
The backside seems a lot more natural and snow-covered than the front.
Action shot of me in my new gear. Wee!

Both of these ski days I took Dexter for a run before and after snowboarding... Been feeling great! Glad I can keep up the running while we enjoy the slopes too! Less than a month until Jacqui's home... Just over a month for me! :D
