Let it snow...
It would appear that the weathermen in New Zealand are pretty good!
The weekend saw temperatures drop, snow on the mountains and even
a dusting in Queenstown itself. Conditions also allowed the new
snow cannons to run pretty much non-stop all-weekend. As a result
Coronet Peak opened its doors at 9am this morning.
 
Man made snow and beer
Only the main M1 run and the learner area were open, however there
was a fair few people up on the mountain to enjoy this season opener.
Conditions were as good as could be expected.. hard-pack man-made
snow with the odd rock dotted around for good measure, but the sun
was out and the bar was open! More snow is still needed, but it
will come soon.......
As for the other South Island resorts, Mt. Hutt opened up yesterday.
They have the main Broadway run and learners areas open. Snowpark
is due to open 12th June, Treblecone 19th June, Cardrona 24th June
and the Remarkables 26th June. Bring it on!
