Over half a meter has fallen in places on the South Island with winter now on track.

It hasn’t been a bumper season so far, but now base depths are over 1m in places in some areas for the first time this season.

Some ski areas have been unable to open with lifts buried, accessed roads closed and avalanche danger.

The latest storm was accompanied by high winds.

  • Mt Hutt reports a 1.1m  base and has about 90% of its slopes open.
  • Mt Dobson claims 1.2m but remained closed .
  • Most other ski areas have 90% of their terrain open.

On the North Island further snow is on its way.

We will be updating this article once the storm passes.
