17th of August 2009
Its dawnie time as we both wake earlier, a quick feed of 2 minute noddles and were heading up to Whakapapa again.
Carpark #1 awaits as we slide into the carpark, throw on our gear and head for the slopes. $100 later and we have our lift passes and 10 minutes later we're shuffling across the Hut flat heading for our first run on the freshly groomed Rock Garden.
We get 4 runs in before the crowds start to arrive and by 11:00 its getting pretty chopped up. We head down to LBC for a pie and drink.
Then its back up the Centenial chair for another 3 runs thru the rockgarden. M's looking weary so we decide to call it a day and cash in to get a half day discount.
Its been 2 awesome days on Mt Ruapehu. Only our second time up and we've advanced into the middle mountain slopes and feel pretty damn pleased with ourselves.
