We are going down to the snow for a couple of days tomorrow. It will take about 4 hours to drive down. We are planning to stay at Tokanau because its thermal which means we can warm up in the hot pools after being on the mountain.
Isaac (youngest)is autistic and has a fixation with snow, so it is always cool to see the absolute pleasure he gets when he sees the snow for the first time. The neat thing with having Kids I think is that it gives you the joy of seeing the world again through there eyes instead of your own jaded ones.
Any way I will post pics when we get back.
