As you would expect, 6 months displaced from a typical N Hemisphere season, early Dec to mid April.

Beautiful country. We travelled north island last July and drove from a chilly but sunny rotorua through really deep snow (the pass was open for the first time in 5 days) to Napier where there were people in shorts in the sun! A journey of just a couple of hours.
We would love to have skiid it just didn’t have the time.

First winter storm coming through tonight. Very early. It was shorts weather yesterday....
50cm forecast for Canterbury ski fields, so may set up a base for winter if the weather stays cold for the next few weeks.

Snow line down to 600m this morning here in the Queenstown area but not very thick. More up higher but a bit early to be the start of the winter base.
