Ski Trip zum Mount Hutt
Here is a map. Mount Hutt is 70 km away from Christchurch.
The trip is really funny, especially the last 5 km. The road isn't asphalted and so there are a lot of holes. I missed also a guard rail. On the left side it was 400 meters deep (afraid). But we had a good driver, I was happy that he wasn't hangover. For the orientation: Here is a map of the cablecars and the lifts.

A really nice view to the planes, normally. We weren't so lucky. It was snowing and raining. But if the weather is nice it looks like the pictures below. The jumping guy isn't me, but I think when I will go there again and the weather is nice I will do the same pictures.
Here are some pictures of us:
As I mentioned the weather wasn't good. This is a picture in the morning, it's not too bad. Later it became worse. One couldn't see his own and tip of the skis. But was a lot of fun.
In the evening we drove back. Are you interssted in more? Here is the link of the homepage of Mount Hutt: www.nzski.com/mthutt/
