Remarkable Sculpture

A beautiful sculpture at the Remarkables on a perfect day at the slope.

Blowing Snow

The snow being blown by some strong winds at Coronet Peak. It's hard to see from the photo, but the wind here was truly blasting over this peak at greater than 30 knots.

Snow Peaks Peek

A first peek at some snowy peaks in the distance on the trip into Queenstown.

Thredbo

The grassy slopes of a ski resort in Autumn. I will have to return here one day in Winter to see the Australian ski slopes.

Jackson Tetons

The framed view of the Grand Tetons from inside the warm and cosy Jackson Hole Airport.

Summit

From the summit of Mount Hutt in New Zealand, one can see many snow capped peaks. A spectacular vista.

Lakes Snow

After the arctic ice of Svalbard I did not expect to see snow in England. However, one morning in the lakes district near Windermere I awoke to this beautiful scene. Snow on my little white Fiat hire car. That was special.

Snow Cabin

A cabin in the snow for the weekend? You can book these cabins across Spitzbergen and spend some time in the wilderness. This was on the trail from Longyearbyen to Isfjordradio. 

Glass Igloo Village

The one and only Glass Igloo Village in Kakslauttanen, Finland. I was lucky enough to get a booking in one of these for a night. It is a magical winter wonderland with Santa's house nearby, and the snow is so dry and light it squeaks underfoot. The beds face directly north for a perfect view when the sky is clear. You can even tilt the bed for the optimum reclining angle, and the staff are wonderfully friendly.

God Jul! (Merry Christmas)

Merry Christmas from a white snow Tromsø in Norway.

Fresh

A fresh morning view from the middle of Wanaka, looking over the lake and toward the snowy hills.

Snow

Some of the wonderful late spring snow at Mount Hutt.

White Sand Christmas

Wishing you all a very merry white sand Christmas!  In Australia Christmas occurs in the summer and there is not a snow flake's chance you will see a white Christmas unless you head to the beach. (Or in some cases you may be lucky to see snow in Tassie at Xmas) Hope you all have a wonderful day.
