Feb 2011 Earthquake
We are thinking of all our Club members and friends in the Christchurch ski community who have been affected by the Feb 22nd 2011 6.3 earthquake. What a tragic time. We hope you and all your family members are all safe and well.

Labour Weekend 2009
The closing weekend for 2009 was one to remember. We had record crowds for late October with more than 130 people present on Saturday and 80 or so on Sunday. We were the only ski area open in the South Island so had plenty of visitors.

Stunning weekend Oct 10-11 with 30 cm of new snow
WHAT a weekend! Over 30 cm of new snow fell with the cold southerly blast that swept up the country last Thursday and Friday. The scenery looked like mid winter with 10 cm of snow right down to HW 73.
