Side creeks

On Saturday I did a brief training course on how to help beginner kayakers (in preparation to help out with the upcoming beginner's course). I am not sure how much help I will be- but it should be fun! The water levels were really high on the Hurunui river, which meant they were also high on some of the side creeks. One of our group members decided  to run this waterfall (about 6 meters high). I thought I would pass on that for now!

Rakaia Walkway

On Sunday we went for a little walk about 1 hour west of Christchurch to get a nice view of the snow capped mountains before the snow is all gone. Another sunny Canterbury day!

Mt. Dobson and Roundhill

There is about a month and a half left of the ski season. These two ski hills were my favourite NZ ski hills so far. (Although I've only been to 7). The access roads were not as treacherous and it seemed like there were practically no people- even though it was the weekend. (I guess that's what you get when you are willing to drive an extra hour and half from Christchurch).
