and merkeba, you get snow in new zealand, well maybe not where you are. where are you exactly?

Oh I know we get snow, but yeah I meant where I live. There aren't too many years where our skifields miss out on a big dumping. I live on the East Coast of the South Island, in a city called Christchurch. If you look on a map it's about half way down, just above the Peninsula that sticks out. I'm right along the coastline so you can imagine why I love summers and the beach.
I know where you're going is a pretty scenic place that usually always does well in the ski seasons. In general the West Coast of the South Island has worthwhile winters but yeah, apart from the bottom half of the South Island, the upper half of the East Coast usually misses out.
