Arthur’s Pass is 920m. Annual rainfall 4500 mm and it rains 200 days a year. Last January there was 600mm of snow in the village. This year there is snow but only on the peaks – starting at 1833m. Last night’s wind of 145km per hour probably blew most of it away!! Yesterday’s temperatures in the Village were 3º > 25º on the peaks -4º > 16º. Glad it is summer!
We are staying in a very nice cottage for the first night - Mountain House Cottage - then venturing out into the elements with tent, sleeping bag and billy. Wish me luck.
