Back home again...
And it was the best two days on the Hill in a long time. Sun, few queues, and amazing snow coverage.
Of course, this is when I find out just how badly out of shape I am. I've always said my aim is to be fit enough to do the things I want to do, and alas I appear to have passed that horizon this past year. Exercise and eating sensibly are in my future.
But enough whining - it was great, and I feel refreshed and recharged. If you're a snowsporting person you really owe it to yourself to head up this year. There's an insane amount of snow on Mt. Ruapehu, best I've seen in about 15 years or so.
