• James' first Ski day

    September 19, 2024 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

    Today we got up early and geared up for skiing!! We got our passes and caught the shuttle up the mountain to Cardrona! We headed straight to the magic carpet to get the ski legs going. Jamsey did well to pick up skiing again after 11 years and lessons from Caitlin. We survived the chairlift and quickly remembered how hard skiing is on the legs (not so great after a hike the day before). After a coffee break, we hit the slopes again, mastering the McDonald's Chondla.
    Caitlin left James at the bar after lunch and explored some other runs. Back at the hotel, we went to Club Wyndham's cult experience where we were promised a free drink, food and $100 gift card. Instead we got a very very long cheesy sales pitch with a very questionable deal (lets see if we will spend 3mil on holiday accommodation in our lifetime).
