Skiing in Queenstown (Day 2): Wednesday, 8/5

Update: photos from the ice bar last night

Today was so fun! Me and Jen decided to spend our free day skiing with our new friends Javi and Michael. We rented all of our equipment and hopped on a bus to go to the Remarkables ski fields, which were about 50 minutes away. The weather and conditions were absolutely gorgeous. The views were unbelievable, the sun was shining, it wasn't very cold, and the snow was powdery from the snowfall yesterday. The slopes were about the same size and difficulty as Hidden Valley, so I felt at ease even though I haven't been skiing in a few years. Fittingly, when we got back into town and returned our gear we went to the Koko cafe for some fancy hot chocolate. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect ski day! Tonight is our last night in Queenstown and we leave tomorrow to see the famous Milford Sound! I can't believe that there are only 2.5 days left on our tour :(
