In case you missed it during this hottest summer of all time, the ski season is in full swing down under. Here’s a clip from Whakapapa Ski Field, New Zealand’s largest winter resort. Located on the North Island, Whakapapa is on the north side of Mount Ruapehu. You really have to give the crew credit for keeping the lifts open in what appears to be a mess of icy frost.
Mike is the co-publisher of SeniorsSkiing.com. His skiing career started at Song Mountain NY in his college days.
