The Ski area on Mount Ruapehu, an active volcanoClick on any image to see a bigger version.
The evening before skiing - lovely weather |
Not a lot of snow, just the beginners' area open |
Nice and sunny - bodes well for skiing the next day |
Sunset over Tongariro National Park |
Er - it's cold, freezing rain, high winds, but I'm stupid enough to be here anyway |
All lifts above beginners' area closed, even for sightseeing |
It was actually a lot cloudier and wetter and windier than this suggests |
