Sun, rain shut down ski resorts


BY SUE FEA - The Southland Times | Tuesday, 17 June 2008

Unseasonally warm temperatures and rain late last week has temporarily disrupted a bumper start to the ski season in the Southern Lakes but help is on the way with a snow storm forecast for this weekend.

Coronet Peak has been closed until further notice because of the "recent rain, warm temperatures and the consequent loss of snow", NZSki chief executive James Coddington said.......


Good news is the new swimming pool in Queenstown so you can while away your worries doing some laps rather than tear out the frustrations on the slopes.

Better news is our good friends at snow-forecast.com have a perrrty little picture




look at the temperature plummet ! look at the snow forecast!

now if you are used to northern hemisphere metre dumps you would snigger at these figures .... but for a hard up southerner this is white and wunderful

so what all you serious snowfers need to do is pray. hard. dont care what book you read or which way you face pray. for snow.
