Snowboarding on Mt Ruapehu

Well we proved we are slowly becoming Kiwi's this winter.

A group of Cameron's workmates were planning a trip to Mt Ruapehu this winter and Cameron & I decided that as it fell on my birthday, it would be nice to go along.

We drove down to Taupo which is about a 5 hour drive south of Auckland. It was a long drive, but it was so worth it. The weekend was incredible. And the mountian was breathtaking...

The first day we got out onto the mountain there was a blizzard and we were caught in it (Not a good first impression of the snow I tell you). The mountain was closed so we were forced back in doors. But on the second day we were out there bright & early and on the snow....




And considering it was my first time ever on the snow, I didn't do too bad, even if I say so myself...


We are so hooked on this now that we are definitley going back next year.Can't wait!!
