NZ club fields opening

It looks like it's going to be a stonking start to the season for some of New Zealand's club fields this weekend.

Among the weekend openings will be Craigieburn and Mt Olympus, which open on Saturday 8 July, and Temple Basin, which opens on Sunday 9 July.

All three are located in South Island's Canterbury region and have fantastic bases thanks to recent dumps. Mt Olympus is reporting an impressive base of 123-183cm today with a whopping 44cm of fresh pow falling overnight.

If you're thinking of heading to these powder traps, bear in mind they only have rope tows, requiring a tow belt, nutcracker, protective gloves and a healthy dose of skill and determination.
