Frosty Days
What a week. The temperatures plummeted and nature turned on some pretty splendid scenery for us all. Yesterday's frost was a beauty. Our pool froze over and the trees and shrubs were decorated in Jack Frost's finery. Cooler days and nights (-6 degress C) have ensured the snow remains on the ski fields. We are getting towards the end of the school holidays now. The town has been busy and we have enjoyed the company of our guests. We look forward to our guests booking our heliskiing/skiing winter package.We climbed Mount Iron (a one hour walking track close by overlooking Wanaka) this week. What great views: Treble Cone, Mt Roy, both covered in snow and pristine Lake Wanaka. We are so very lucky to live in such a beautiful environment.
Yesterday we took some visitors up to the Snow Farm and Snow Park out towards Cardrona. They were amazed at what's up there! For those into cross country skiing or even some tricky manoeuvres on the snowboard, you need to check it out.
Our beloved Labrador 'Chase' took it into his head to go walkabout on Wednesday and not to return until the next day. We are very grateful to some neighbours who found him and cared for him overnight until he could be traced. After many anxious hours he is now back home and ready to play ball once again. posted by Maungawera Lodge # 4:58 PM
