The Best Start to a New Zealand Ski Season Ever!

Warning: By continuing to read on, you're opening up your heart to potentially overwhelming snow envy... which may end up with you coming to New Zealand for a snowboard or ski holiday....

I know, that is a pretty dramatic warning and title for a blog - but it is nothing but true! Seriously, I can’t even remember one that has started with such a bang as this one has!

Here are some astonishing quick facts, on the June 27th snow levels:

• Cardrona has 65cm - 1.25 metre base Captain's Basin at Cardrona Alpine Resort. Photo Credit: Cardrona Alpine Resort
• Treble Cone has a 94cm - 2 metre + base
• Mt Hutt has a 3.2 metre base! What!? (that's taller than me!)
• Ohau has a 1.2 - 1.6 metre base
• Coronet Peak has a 85cm base
• The Remarkables a 92cm base
• Dobson is buried! Well.. actually it has a 1.80 metre base (also taller than me!)
• Round Hill has a 1.5 - 2 metre base

Amazing..

The snow is incredible – it’s light and it’s dry. There is a hive of activity about town, and a buzz of excitement in the air. Everyone seems to be wearing ski or snowboard gear and of course a huge grin! 

To help make you smile too,  I have also created a couple of photo galleries of this amazing snow. Click here to view them.

So, enjoy the photos and I hope I get to share some of this snow with you soon!!

Until then...
