Spirits were high at the ski field between Queenstown and Wanaka throughout the morning, with families visiting from overseas ahead of school holidays. “We’re so excited - but it is pretty cold though,” Willow Donovan said. Clint and Telena Donovan with children Frankie (left), Willow and Tucker were at Cardrona early for their first ski and board lessons. “It’s the kids' first time on the snow today, so we’re excited and rapt, can’t wait to get into it. The road to the ski field was clear, with some occasional ice and grit above Valley View this morning.
