Skiing with the kids at Rainbow Ski field

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.

A New Deck overlooking Nelson and Mapua

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.
