New Zealand - Snow falls overnight and off and on today has blanketed the Southern Alps leaving skiers, snowboarders and mountain crews buzzing with anticipation for the season ahead.
The Remarkables Ski Manager Ross Lawrence said the mid-winter conditions had changed the landscape from green to white.
“We’ve received 20cm (8 inches) of snow and experienced some good snow falls. It’s starting to ease a bit now but temperatures are still very cold at around minus two degrees,” he said.
Across the valley at Coronet Peak, 10cm (4 inches) of snow has fallen and continues to fall on the road below the development of the new base building.
Further north, Mt Hutt has received 10cm (4 inches) of snow.
Coronet Peak is scheduled to open on Saturday June 7, Mt Hutt on June 14 and The Remarkables, June 21.
