Ruapehu is not going very well either because of lots of mist/cloud/drizzle and not much snow....number of skiers is way down at the moment

I don't ski unfortunately, so that dosen't worry me really :roll:
I couldn't master the learners tow, so I gave up for life.
Besides skiing, with golf, I could never hit the ball, so I gave that up as well for life :)
I'm very good at Morris Dancing tho' and have been doing that for 20 years or so :)

"Queenstown and North Island ski fields are reported to be having a reasonable season..."

That's what happens when you ask people who've already displayed a willingness to bend the truth.

The skiers I've heard talking have complained about the lack of snow on all SI skifields.

Never tried skiing. Have skated around a bit without falling over. :mrgreen:

Tried golf a few times, loathed it - why would anyone do it for pleasure? :lol:

Think I can resist Morris dancing. It's not camp enough. :lol:
