Skifields Road Trip

Seeing as the weather isn't looking too great for the adventure activities, the Stray Bus guys decide to rent a car to see where all the ski fields are. Mareks and I also come along which makes five of us squeezed into the Nissan Sunny.





With some trepidation, Nick (yellow) drives Ken, me, Mareks, Richard and the car all the way up to the Coronet Peak ski field. Fortunately, the road is good all the way to the top, with only the actual carpark being too slippery to venture onto without snow chains. Interestingly, it seems this is the ski field which opens up first which is apparently 6th June.



We cruise on over to the North towards Wanaka to see Cardrona and Snow farm, but the access roads are closed, but at least we now know where they are. The road out there is a nice drive and we grab these shots through the Crown Range.

And thanks to Nick for the artistic shot of the tree.
