This year 2020 in New Zealand while we are in the second month of Spring but there were days that we still have snowfall in places like Porters Pass, Queenstown and etc.
Porters Pass is a mountain pass in the Canterbury region of New Zealand’s South Island. It is near Lake Lyndon and is located within Korowai/Torlesse Tussocklands Park.State Highway 73 travels through the pass on its route from Springfield to Cass, and it is the last mountain pass on the route eastwards from Westland to Christchurch. It is also the third-highest point on the South Island’s state highway network after the Lindis Pass and the Milford Road (though it is just one meter lower). Although Arthur’s Pass is better known, Porters Pass is actually a few meters higher, and it affords views of the Canterbury Plains.
The pass was named in 1858 by the Porter brothers who were farming nearby[source: Wikipedia].

My husband and I took 1 hr. and 13 minutes drive from Christchurch to Porters Pass to take photographs of the last and late snowfalls of the season. The magnificent landscape beauty of Porters Pass with the snow is awesome! I’m sure locals and foreigners who pass this highway will absolutely take a stop and take photographs.
I enjoyed taking detailed photos of the crispy snow/iced that were on the trees.
Below are a few photographs that I finished processing.
