Just in Time
Ahh, so stoked, as is everyone in Wanaka I'd say, especially the mountain staff. Snow has been falling steadily all day on the hills today, so after the wee dump on Monday we're now looking good for getting to shred some snow on the weekend. Check out our webcams for the view.

Ahh the white stuff
Hey Team, the peaks were coated in some beautiful snow this morning, even Mt Roy had a good dusting. Snow Park have got their guns blasting again as you can see in this pic. Hopefully we'll see some lifts running this weekend ;-) fingers crossed.
peace

More Snow?
Well, maybe, MetVuw is saying there will be wet stuff, whether it's frozen or not is another story. Snowpark has moved their opening day from today to next Wednesday, marketing manager Claire said they want to have good coverage and all the features ready to roll when the peeps hit the first lift of the season. Wiggum have got their Friday the 13th Halloween party at Red Rock, tonight should be a ripper, get on down if you're going to be in town, i know a pile of the Base crew will be there causing trouble.
Have good weekend all

More Coming
Snow that is! hey team, looks like a good dump is on the way this weekend. MOst hills have been getting snowmaking underway with great conditions until last night. though Treble Cone had a pump blow up, which is a bummer, i'm sure they'll be back into it asap. The Wanaka Mountain Bike Club had a video premiere last night as a fundraiser for the Lismore Bike Park, a good crew rolled in in support. The 443 crew have done a wicked job at the park, it's looking amazing, if you're in town and want 2 wheeled fun it's only a five minute ride from town, too good.
Coronet Peak is planning on opening tomorrow, good luck to all who venture out, hopefully for their sake the 130Km/hr winds don't materialize. Let us know how it went if you're heading up there.
