Story: Skiing
In New Zealand the social life associated with skiing usually happens in nearby towns, rather than at the ski field itself. The annual Ōhakune Mountain Mardi Gras takes place in August, when many visitors stay in the town while skiing the slopes of nearby Mt Ruapehu. Stalls, games, rides, street performers, and an all-night laser show are features of the event.
