Just a quick update... too tired to post photos... too much snow...
We went to Mt Hutt today, they got 90 cm of snow in 48 hours and couldn't open up until this morning, it was a mission to get to, but it was worth it. I even saw my new workmate in the parking lot that you stop at to put chains on your vehicle, we gave him a ride up the hill. Yes we have an All wheel drive vehicle, we had to put chains on, and we actually did really need them. The access road is a bit scary, I did the driving and by the time we got to the top I was all pumped up with adrenaline and ready to hit the slopes. The road has no guardrails and drops away on both sides at some points of the road. You just don't look down!
Tomorrow we head to Queenstown and then on to Milford Sound. Hopefully the weather is good for the trip.
Mom and dad have been here for over a week now, we have spent some time sightseeing around Christchurch, but I have also put them to work. Dad has been painting trim and Mom has been helping me make curtains, and of course I have not made it easy for her since all of my planning and measurements are in metric!!!! Regardless, the trim and the curtains look gorgeous!!!
Must get some sleep, long day driving and sightseeing tomorrow!! Will post pics when we get back!

Very nice work on the deck and door. You should have lots of great times out there this summer. Nice new table saw. Wow! Darrel skiing. Skiing pics remind me of our good times last summer/winter JUL/AUG.
