But there's atrail that wanders from the East Egmont car park all the way up tothe Mangonui ski field. How about we walk it as far as we safelycan? If the weather starts to look bad, we'll turn back.'

'As long as I get to make a snowman,' agrees Tayla.

The road to the car park rises steeply through a forest of twistedtrees.

'We're driving through clouds,' says Aunty. 'I hope there'ssunshine up ahead.'

Tayla is disappointed.
