Coronet Peak and the Remarkables Skiing well in late June

The Remarkables opened last Saturday with all lifts open (first time ever for opening day)and a good base coverage. More snow will be needed but with the base that is already there its looking like an awesome season ahead to ski the Remarks.

The last week has seen quite a bit of flight disruption with the cold temps trapping a fog layer in the Wakatipu basin and quite a few flights have been diverted or cancelled, flying in later in the day seems the best option as the valley fog seems to clear late each day.

While the fog has been in the valley, Coronet Peak has been in the sunshine but as the temps have been cold up there they have been pumping snow out with all guns blazing and continuing to cover the Peak in armarnie snow. The Peak is skiing great and the snow is very grippy and also very squeaky.

Going into winter festival next week with such fantastic snow coverage is going to make a lot of people happy.

I will look forward to seeing you on the slopes and remember to ask for Simon Wilkinson when you book your private ski lesson at Coronet Peak Snow Sports School.
