Being a blue bird Saturday after the years biggest snow dumping, there were a huge number of cars heading for the mountain. We had planned on driving a little way up the hill and parking on the side of the road, jump around, slide a bit, build a snowman, depart the scene type mission however the Whakapapa ski area access road was closed. By 9am all the car parks were full, and they didn't want any more cars going up as there was no where to put them.
As the road gate people had no interest in letting us past the barrier, we went sideways to find a patch of snow to have fun on. Good friend Rachel and daughter Holly joined us for the snow mission. Holly's main interest seemed to be eating snow!
Despite the expressionless look, Emily did some sign language for "more" so probably enjoyed the sliding.
Once Emily and Holly had burned out, we headed for the Grand Chateau for some luxury hot chocolate and scones.
On Sunday we headed off for a walk around Lake Rotoponamu near Turangi.
Em decided she was done with the backpack and needed to walk herself, worked for a bit however she is easily sidetracked!
