If you would like to receive our weekly snow report simply click there. Friday 10 July was the first decent snow fall for the season and all of the Southern Lakez fields picked up some snow. As usual there was some scepticism as to the reported snow falls. Snow making continues to impress and provide some snow experience. The investment that Coronet Peak and Treble Cone in particular have made in the previous years on those big fans is clearly saving the day.
Weather patterns are still weird with a Northerly aspect to it all.
Well according to the boss the Peak had 120 million litres of water at the start of the season and they now have 70 million. For every 10 litres pumped out the snow making machines they can pump 1 litre up the hill so that is going backwards, but then they aren t always making snow. Lets hope we don't have to find out. Worth the trip up the hill for alpine experience and a great spot to take the family and kids for a sunny days snow experience. The Shadow Basin chair is open from 11am - 3pm.
