A storm early this week dumped up to half a metre of snow on southern ski areas and Wednesday was keenly anticipated to be the best day of the season with thick powder and brilliant sunshine.
Cardrona and Treble Cone manager Bridget Legnavskysaid everyone’s plans came to a halt overnight when it was announced New Zealand was entering an alert level 4 lockdown.
“We haven’t had great snow this season and all of a sudden it’s absolutely dumped enormous amounts of snow,” she said.
While ski area staff were disappointed, they were not caught off guard and were ready to close down if necessary.
