Winter is finally here

I have been back in wanaka for a couple of months now just living! loving life keeping fit working and waiting for the snow. Its been unusually late this year all the mtns have had to push opening dates back snowpark is the only one open in the wanaka area I had a day up there and it was super fun they have done a great job snow making and getting everything up an running well most things! Cardrona opens tomorrow so im sure allot of people will be amping!
Today we woke up to snow all the way down the mtns not in town but its looking good and im sure setting up all the skifeilds with a great base! Yay winter has come!!
