Wanaka is perfect. It has the most delightful ski town charm and is nestled right on the shores of Lake Wanaka to boot. Wanaka is the base camp for six internationally rated ski areas and the largest heli-skiing area outside of North America. It is also surrounded by vineyards that produce some of the world's best pinot noir. If there is something else one could look for in a town I'm just not seeing it.
After renting some Rossis at a ski shop, we scaled the xthousand vertical feet to Cardrona's base. The snow was hard, too hard for the buttery edges on our skis, but it was sunny and the views were spectacular. There was an alpine race that day and at the sight of the mini racers Tori and I waxed nostalgic. We were also lucky enough to benefit from the gaping hole in the ozone--goggle tans in half the time!!!
