Mt. Hutt Ski Trip










Ski trip to Mt. Hutt, Canterbury. Only 2 hours drive from Christchurch. It is the best place to skiing and snowboarding. It is also renowned as the Southern Alps. The scenery along the way was magnificent and indescribable. We saw pig, llama, horse and sheep farms, green plains, snowcapped mountains, cyan stream, snowstorm, and heavy fogs. We even fixed the snow chains on our sedan's wheels all by ourselves with a small favor from the guys. When we reached the skiing basement, we were not allowed to use the chair lift as the weather was very bad. We felt very frustrated, so we simply played the snow and took pics. Then, we had our lunch in our car while the heaters switched on whilst waiting for a friend who was skiing. The foods were more than people's appetite. We got kek batik, tart telur, keropok ikan, mee goreng, popia, and green tea. After that, we went down the mountains and went back home. Before that, we had to dismantle our snow chains. They smelt really bad. This time, we did it all by ourselves without no one's help. Along our way back home, we found a place to perform our prayers. It was at a camping site where we found a pretty river. Later, we continued our journey and before we got back home, we washed our car at a car wash, plus the vacuuming. Our Toyota Corolla rental car looked like a brand new car! Well indeed, the one-day trip has made our ukhuwah stronger and we knew each other better :)
