Hot dogs, beer, picnic basket, fireworks? My fourth of July check list included: skis, helmets, poles, gloves. Welcome to Independence Day in New Zealand! We celebrated the 4th by dusting off the skis and braving the cold southern alps temperatures. Wanaka was dusted in a blanket of fresh snow as we headed our trusty Subaru up towards Cardrona Ski resort. NZ Snow Reports show that almost all the ski areas and club fields in New Zealand are now open. Wanna get here? Check out Air New Zealand’s matchmaking flight, “The Love Plane.” It departs October 13 from Los Angeles to Auckland, NZ, and starts with an online dating profile then includes a pre-launch matchmaking party and an overnight flight filled with food, drinks, and games to encourage you to make an, um, special in-flight connection. Roundtrip tickets starting at just $780.
