Snowboarding @ Mt. Hutt

23-24.07.2015

The main reason I plan to spend a year in New Zealand is to experience the four seasons. Well done, I have completed my mission! 

SPRING with the dull ice flowers @ Lake Tekapo; SUMMER activity: the Monster slide @ Christchurch; AUTUMN view @ Arrowtown; WINTER snowboard @ Mt. Hutt ski field.

Snowboarding is really fun and cool! After ended the factory job, I and a bunch of carrot-mates travelled to Mt. Hutt for our ski/snowboard session. We get a discounted group price with an all-day lift pass, lesson, ski/snowboard equipments and clothing rental. All together with gears and shuttle bus fare from Methven to Mt. Hutt, we only need to pay for about NZD160. 

This is my first time snowboarding, so I cannot comment much on the facilities there. Yet, the skifield there is large. I recomend for those first-timer, spend two day for ski/snowboard as the first day you needed to learn for a whole day while the next day, you can have fun!

My carrot friends! We celebrated the end of our job and ready for our ski/snowboarding on the next day.

Big Al's SnowSport, where we rented our helmet, goggles, and gloves. Note: those are not rented on the mountain.

Took the Snowman shuttle bus to Mt. Hutt (NZD20 return).

Hahah.. I was so professional!

Stephenie and I, the organisers of the trip, took photo with our snowboard coach, Erick.

We love snowboarding!!
