Eli's movie of his friend Hannah's visit to New Zealand, specifically our holiday in the Queenstown and Wanaka area. We had some concerns regarding having enough snow but the day of our flight from Wellington to Queenstown, we got too much snow as our flight was cancelled as we circled above Queenstown and we were diverted back to Christchurch. We then had to take a bus which would take 7-9 hours assuming the passes and roads were open. Having spent all of our first day travelling we arrived in Queenstown. Stayed for a few nights at the Black Sheep Lodge, snowboarded at a ski field called "The Remarkables" a 45 min bus ride from town to the base lodge. We then moved on to Wanaka's "Snow Park", a terrain park/mountain and "Snow Farm", a nordic ski center and winter testing ground for car and tire manufacturers. We finished up at the Cardona skifield. We coped with weather related delays as well as illness as Eli and Shelley took to their beds sometime during the week. But all in all a good time was had by all and no major injuries. Peter, Logan and Izaak successfully got their feet wet snowboarding and Eli and Hannah got to hang, board, shop, chill, eat, drink and be merry. Good times. Thanks for coming across the world to visit!
