The forecast for Christchurch was sleet and rain, way to welcome in Spring!
My boss is really awesome and I knew the mountain report for Mount Hutt was vastly better despite only being one hour from the city. Barely a cloud to be found and some fresh snow over-night, very good decision
I took a full HD vid with the K-30 of me snowboarding down (carefully mind, haha) but it has a fair bit of shake so i'll leave it with just the handheld pano.
