Off Skiing ...

A classic morning and a perfect way to start our 3 day long ski weekend. Away at a leisurely 8.45, we arrived up at Roundhill around 9.30, after a spectacular drive alongside Lake Tekapo towards these mountains.

Being a weekday the area was pretty quiet, so with sun, fresh winter snow, and no wind it was simply magic.

Run after run up the T-bar, with both kids, although Hannah liked plenty of breaks. Adams discovered powder, trail skiing apparently is already too boring and he just wants the deep stuff. Fantastic ;-)

Lunch and more skiing with our friends and their kids, a very full and enjoyable day.

With my race in only a week, I decided to squeeze in some training, and ride back to Tekapo. An 8Km downhill, down the ski area road, and then a 25k ride back along the lake. 1.30 it took, suitably buggered and ready for a beer on arrival back at the house.

Magic.
