Ski Trip 2004 Turoa
Kym and I made another trip to Ruapehu in August this year (2004) and stayed in a rental chalet in Ohakune. The elements were against us but we still head a nice winter break.

Being early midweek the field was pretty quiet and the marginal weather meant things at the top-of-the-bruce cafe were low key | |
| A happy face while it lasted as we got in a half days skiing at Whakapapa early in the week. It snowed all morning and by the arvo was too windy so the mountain closed. |
It snowed that night so we headed up to the junction for a couple of quiets, and a nice walk back to town later in the snow. | |
| A nice bit of coverage was starting to form back in the village. This was in the street just outside our cabin as it was finally begining to settle without melting. |
Kym in the snow shower as we left the Margeruita's bar on the way back to the cabin. The conditions were really mild and the snow was a real gentle drift. Feels so sureal coz you expect it to be freezing cold and uncomfortable, but was quite neat to walk home in. | |
