NZ UPDATE - CHRIS LOFTUS

12 September 2001


Well there's now a definite feel of spring in the air, cloudless blue skies and temperatures regularly in the mid teens. There hasn't been any new snow for well over two weeks but the near zero nightime temps are managing to keep the existing cover from disappearing too quickly.

The mountains are very quiet though you don't have to search too far to find an eternally optimistic local who will gladly tell you that it's quite normal to have a decent fall anytime in September.

The first of the end of season special offers has just appeared - take a Moro bar wrapper up to Treble Cone on Friday and ski for $10 rather than $64. Apparently last year this offer quickly became "just bring the wrapper"!
