Yet another year of skiing at Rainbow.  We love it and so do the kids.  Both of them are doing really well.  They both mastered the poma so I took them to the top using the t-bar and they didn’t fall off! It was brilliant to see their faces.

We have changed the look of our Chalet.  We have created a great outdoor space that has great turquoise sea views during the day and at night we can now sit and admire the lights of Nelson.
