Coronet Peak extends season!

Coronet Peak is to extend it's season by an extra week following a great late season storm cycle which saw bucket loads of snow fall over the Southern Lakes district. This is great news for all those season pass holders and local businesses who could see a final little boost for the season.

It seems that just over a month ago scientists were talking about the Polar Vortex and how it was on the move from antartica after being stuck there for a several weeks more than usual. This meant we saw an unusually warm August, meaning we just weren't seeing those cold polar fronts coming up and hitting us to give us our usual winter snowy conditions. But it seems they were right and we got hit by front after front bring daily snow dumps day after day for over a week! I dont think we have ever seen it snow so consistently in Queenstown for such a prolonged period, let alone at the end of September!
Anyway, the end result is that we can now play in the snow at Coronet peak for an extra week, where as previous years it was just Remarkables left open! A great decision, favoured by locals and ski bums alike! Great decision nzski!
