Hurrah!
Snow at last for starved New
Zealand. It's started off warm and wet but
as temperatures fell, Treble
Cone and other Southern resorts
now have had a decent amount of snowfall in the last
couple of days.
This report and picture
comes from a cheerful Hetty Hale at Treble Cone, now
looking forward to the RipCurl Heli Challenge coming
up soon.
'There has been 20-30cm
of fresh snow on the upper mountain over the past
2 days. The snow has been wind affected and we can
expect some large pockets of dry winter snow. On the
lower mountain there has been 5-10cm of fresh snow.
With winter snow conditions skiing and riding both
on and off piste is expected to be very good throughout
the day. The Saddle Basin will be on hold until early
mid morning as Heli-bombing is carried out.'
