It was snowing lightly this morning when I arrived at Coronet Peak and continued to snow all day. By the time I left around 14:30 the snow was thick enough on the road to make 2WD chain up. Freezing temps were lowering and sleet was hitting the ground downtown for a while late this arvo.
The forecast is for the snow to continue to low levels tonite and tomorrow near Queenstown. It certainly bodes well for building the base and Monday could be a good powder day. Sun looks like it will come out on Tuesday and Wednesday and with cold temps I am sure the snow making will fire into action (if they haven't already) and really help consolidate the base.
It looks like Remarks will have got some great snow out of this system and certainly further north at Mt Hutt will have been hit too.
It appears it may be the start of a good winter winter for the Queenstown ski areas. Keep your fingers crossed!
