On Friday night after work I left and drove down to Turangi to stay at my co-worker's timeshare that he had for the week. Saturday morning we got up and headed off to Turoa because the snow was looking better there than at Whakapapa. We had an excellent day. Plenty of loose snow and some powder to be found. The clouds were pretty low so we skiied above them all day and it was clear as. That night we went back to Turangi and ate dinner at Valentino's then had a spa and crashed out.
Sunday morning the weather looked terrible so we took our time and cooked a nice breakfast. We hung out for a while and then Darran and I went to Taupo for the day. David stayed behind and rested up. James and Geoff showed up that evening.
Monday morning they had received fresh snow at Whakapapa and Turoa, but Whakapapa was saying it was hard off trail and Turoa said soft. We went to Turoa again and it rocked! A lot of fresh snow and nobody there. The sun was shining and we had a lot of fun kickin around in the powpow. Rode lots of steep terrain and jumped off some cliffs.
