Snow on the way for Coronet Peak Queenstown New Zealand



This was the view from Coronet Peak this morning at about 1000 today. The skiing is awesome right now and the base is building slowly but surely. The forecast storm front hit around 15:00 and has dropped a bit of fresh snow on both Coronet Peak and the Remarkables. The temps have also dropped so snow making will be in progress over the next few days just adding to the brilliant early season conditions.

Every run I do on the Salomon Storms skis just makes me love them more. Still need to test them on some hard snow but from what I have found so far they will just eat it up.

Ski Tip - lateral balance. Drag your poles either side of your toes making sure they stay in the snow thru each turn. This will mean you have the correct amount of lateral balance for the slope you are skiing on and you should feel more edge control as a consequence.

Remember to as for me, Simon Wilkinson, when you book your private ski lesson at Coronet Peak.

  1. Simon, brilliant weeks skiing thanks to you, we learnt more than we did in the past 12 weeks of skiing we have done and this made our trip totally enjoyable. See you next year,
