After a 90 minute hike in our ski boots with our skis over our shoulders, we arrived at near the top of the Whakappa Volcano in New Zealand

We had the option of continuing our hike, but with massive clouds moving in and visibility going from super awesome to super sketchy, we decided to take this picture and drop into a chute that would lead us back safely to the main lodge.

Skiing Whakappa in New Zealand – it was an epic view. When the crowds showed up and the lineups went from 15 minutes to 55, we decided to hike to the top. We’ll show you the picture from the top in our next post.
