Spring and Winter all in the same day! Hard to believe but thats what is like. Skiing on the mountains and basking in 17 degree heat down below.
What a wonderful spell of weather. It just makes you want to get outside and go! Although the warmth may not be that ideal for skiing enthusiasts, there is still plenty of action up at Treble Cone, Cardrona and the Snow Farm for a few more weeks to come.Wanaka has been looking a picture with pristine snow covered mountains, clear blue skies and a lake that so often looks like glass. With such warm temperatures lately it does make you wonder what might be coming but we'll make the most of it while its here.
Last year in the spring, which again was a beautiful time of year here and with few visitors in the town it did make me wonder why more people don't come and enjoy the area while it was so quiet. October through till December would be a perfect time to be in Wanaka.
Our guests have enjoyed some good days up at Treble Cone and Cardrona and have had a look around the wider area on their days off.
As well as running the lodge I have managed to fit in several community activities as part of the Wanaka Lions Club I am now a member of. These have ranged from helping to make and sell 500 dozen pikelets for Daffodil Day last week, serving cups of tea/coffee to those who have donated blood, to setting tables for nearly 200 people for the Lions Black Tie Dinner.
Now it's back to the kitchen as there are still preparations for dinner for our guest tonight. posted by Maungawera Lodge # 5:06 PM
