i fell into a snow globe...

...and loved it.

it was a treat to experience a months travel in north america over the christmas and new year before hitting the books again at otago university.

my first destination was BC, CANADIA! flying into vancouver, i missioned my way on a bus to the big white ski field. from the time i had left my sunny spot at home (after a swim at mount maunganui beach) i finally arrived at my journey's end at a friends house on the big white (and snowy) mountain... only 35hours later! longest day of my life so far, but worth every minute.

15th dec - 19th dec:

the magical sunrise view on my first morning

bex and i all geared up. it was so awesome to be on the
chairlift again about to head up for my first run of my short stint in BW

a day of firsts - riding through the trees and powder
amazingly awesome (though i could have been powdered out in this pic!)

the snow ghosts (snow covered trees)


ecstatic about the snowy day and xmas trees

a mesmerizing last run

beautiful big white - you have stolen my heart

much love goes out to bex and her crew for taking extra great care of me during my little stay... but i had to be on my way to meet my darling bestie for the next installment of the canadian christmas trip... tbc
