Yet more snow storms have been buffeting New Zealand this week and it's been a bumper start to the ski season.
Another 35cm hit Mt Hutt yesterday, bringing the base up to 1.2m. The season's start has been described as one of the best for over 15 years.
Cardrona opened today with bluebird skies and beautiful freshies, while Mt Lyford had to postpone opening until tomorrow as the snow hadn't stopped.
The Remarkables also kicks off its season tomorrow and this year will be the location for New Zealand's first Burton Learn to Ride Freestyle Centre.
In the North Island, roads around Mt Ruapehu have been closed by snow and wind, with more dumps forecast over the weekend. Turoa's base has reached 1.4m and Whakapapa's has hit the 1m mark. Impatient skiers and riders may have to wait until Monday for the weather and roads to clear.
Treble Cone opens on 27 June, with most other Kiwi resorts opening by 1 July.
