Crunching through fresh snow, following ridgelines above Lake Tekapo and watching the Southern Alps stretch to the horizon. This is what snowshoeing in the Two Thumb Range is all about.

As the sun dipped behind the peaks, we traded mountain boots for a roaring fire and a warm hut deep in the backcountry. Bliss. 🏔️❄️☀️
