The moon was very round when Alicia, my cousin went skiing. She was lucky to have good weather.
Yesterday, a bit too much snow fell.
Gale force winds of up to 200km an hour blew some young skiers uphill and smashed car windscreens on Mt Hutt.
The only road off Mt Hutt ski field has reopened, freeing 1200 skiers who spent last night camping out in alpine cafes.
About 1200 skiers - including several hundred schoolchildren - were trapped overnight when winds of more than 200km/h hit the mountain.
The road off the mountain was reopened at about 9.30am. The stranded skiers were briefed and given an energy drink before their descent down the mountain.
Skiers coming off Mt Hutt were mostly positive about the experience.
Australian Jane Fullerton-Smith said the winds at the skifield were "insanely strong".
"It was pretty terrifying," she said.
Her children Ella, 5, and Charlotte, 7, were skiing for the first time and the wind was so strong that they were being blown uphill.
