COLIN SLATER'S NZ UPDATE

22 May 2000

COLD!!! So cold you could have made snow in my lavvie this morning!

Shame it's not wet as well...stuck in a cold front here with little moisture. There's been some respectable falls out in the wop wops, but most of the major areas have successfully avoided them.

Hutt got a sprinkling but actually looks worse than it was. It's been cold so the snowmaking has been going full crank and they are confident they'll open weekend of 3/6.

Mt Potts has been catching the snow as per usual and they're in the middle of building the biggest film set I've ever seen for the Lord of the Rings film so hopefully it won't be buried. Still waiting for that pre season big dump!
