Lots of old racers rippin around Coronet Peak at the moment with training finished and race starting today. Unfortunately the downhill was canned due to poor light this morning but the slalom went ahead with happy racers have firm race lane conditions and improving light.
Coronet peak is skiing very well at the moment - on piste went very hard (like a smooth table top) yesterday although off piste in S/E aspects i.e. exchange skied well. A little dusting overnight saw silk snow conditions over the whole peak and once again reminding me out fantastic the Coronet Peak is - the smallest of fresh snow drops and she comes alive again. We may get a bit more tonite maybe 1 -2 cms but unlikely although after night skiing is finished I am sure it will be cold enough to blow some snow so the snow makers will have to do some work. Actually the have done an amazing job with the new system and considering we have about a 90 cm base and about half is man made that probably gives you some perspective!
Hut will probably get a bit more out of this system and there is another on barreling in from the north which may also produce - we may get some down here with some luck.
Heli skiing conditions are good although much of the terrain of all the operators has been tracked out and the will be wanting some more in the next 3 - 4 days. Next week looks a bit messy after this high passes over this week end.
Ski Hard -Play well
