THE BEST SNOW IN NEW ZEALAND

3 July 2000


If there was any doubt about the great start to the season in New Zealand, this great picture from Treble Cone dispels it.

Although the weather has been warmer in the last week, the snow has held up exceptionally well and cold temperatures on the 2nd, meant that snowmaking could add to the fresh dusting of snow received the same night.

Snow cover is excellent for this stage of the season with a base of around 30cms at base, 85 cms at the top of the 6-man chair and 1.2 metres in Saddle Basin.

The resort now claims that Wanaka has the best snow cover in New Zealand. Looking at the picture below it seems hard to doubt it. With work on the new terrain park starting this week, the resort seems to be going from strength to strength..
