South Island Winter!

Just got back from a lovely long weekend in Christchurch with my family. A big highlight was skiing with my dad at Mt Hutt:






And a road trip to a spectacular valley near Mt Somers. In the Lord of the Rings movie there is a scene where the rocky hill in this picture has a wooden palace built on it.







Thanks Mom and Dad for being wonderful hosts - I love visiting! And Emma, I appreciate you taking time out to hang out. You're awesome!
