Awesome shots, thanks. Have a few of Geoffs' dvds that I have borrowed from a good friend.
Beautiful train country down south. If anyone reading this gets a chance to visit New Zealand I'd highly recommend a steam excursion in the south island.

just learned something i didn't know. It snows in New Zealand. Excuse my ignorance but i never assumed so and never had a reason to check.

It certainly does snow there. I got caught in a blizzard at Arthur's Pass just before Christmas one year (mid-summer). I'd just hitch-hiked up on the train - I was trying to hitch-hike by car, but a train stopped and picked me up instead.

It doesn't generally snow in the northern half of the north island. Will get severe frosts in valleys and light snow showers at elevation occasionally.
Everything below mid north is game! I stick to the northern part with family down south close to this video, best of both worlds! ;)

Is this considered abnormal for the South Island? I used to ski there.
