End of Summer Wrap and Hangi

Well, what can we say! It has been a long dry and warm summer here in Niseko, with temperatures being above normal but finally they have dropped with the first flakes settling on the mountain tops and the landscape turning gold and red as we write. 

Preparing hungi food.
A traditional Moari celebratory meal.

The main reason for this blog however, is to thank Waza and crew for the great Hangi (wikipedia link) , a traditional Maori meal cooked in a ground oven, we put on 3 weeks back in the backyard of Yukon Apartments.

Hot coals rocks and and steel glow in a fire pit.
The power for the Hungi.

We must also thank all who turned out to enjoy the great fare that was dug out after 5 hours in the oven. Thanks Waza and crew, that's all who helped and came to eat! Check below for some photos from the day and for more photos check Simon's  flirkr set. (link below) Hope to see you all soon, Holiday Niseko Team
