Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Outlook thin for New Zealand's ski season

If you're planning that once-in-a-lifetime ski trip to New Zealand, maybe best to put things on hold for the moment.

Local meteorologist David Crow has predicted "no more decent dumpings of snow this winter."

This report from Newstalk ZB.

Sadly, some of the key south island ski areas are already running on fairly thin cover. Chile and Argentina have enjoyed much better fortune this year.

One of New Zealand's main ski areas - Mount Hutt - is reported to be shedding staff in mid season, after making substantial investments in its lift system following last winter's good snows.

This report from The Ashburton Guardian.

But it's not all gloom and doom. There is reported to be a current base of 30cm, compared to the usual one metre, which could change overnight. “It wouldn’t take much to turn that around; a 20 to 30 centimetre dump would change the whole season,” said Mount Hutt's manager David Wilson.
Quote:
In recent years Mt Hutt has experienced light early and mid-winter snow, but has increasingly benefited from heavy, late season falls.
Last year June and July were listed as “not great months for snowfall” but August saw a big dump, with two metres of natural snow on the slopes.
