The 'POW Report'.
Only a few weeks to go to the end of the season but it should be a great one. Coronet Peak is looking great today and the others should be good to go tomorrow. What a season they have had! And talking about great snow, Dobson has been rocking all season.

The 'POW' Report.
A friend said the other day when I was at T.C. demoing some Van Deer skis. "Spring was where winter was supposed to be and winter is now where spring is supposed to be"! The same happened last season when we got the biggest dumps of the season in September. It may be a good time to change opening and closing dates around a bit!
Anyway....
After a few more falls and still a dump or two to come, it looks like all the southern areas and some of the Canterbury fields are good to go for a while yet. Heaps of snow coming tomorrow, clearing Sunday and fine Monday. More on Tuesday and then more late Wed & Thursday. My pick of the place to be is not at work!

The 'POW' Report.
After a few more falls and still a dump or two to come, it looks like all the southern areas are good to go for a while yet. My pick for today....and probably tomorrow would be The Saddle at T.C. Should be blue bird Wed.
But, look out for some more storms on Thursday and Friday with a little bit on Saturday. Should be great on Sunday and Monday if you can sneak away for a sickie.

The "POW" Report.
The big cold for the winter is coming! You will have to wait until Tuesday to get some visual skiing or boarding in but then it will hit again. It is stormy and snowing in Ausi at the moment and we will get it soon. Have fun out there but be careful.

The 'POW' Report.
It is about to happen again........but lots more this time starting Wed/Thurs and going on until this time next week. There will be the odd break for a few hours so you might be able to get some fresh tracks and still be able to see. Snow down to 600m later in the week and Mid Canterbury will finally get enough to start operating properly. Get your snow chains early if you want to make it up the mountains for a slide! Some stock still available.

The 'Pow Report'.
Ok.......NZ needs some more snow to be better than the Ausi areas and some is about to fall later today and tomorrow.
This will make it a bit better for the weekend, which will be clear but cold and possibly windy. Then it will be another dry but cold week and they will hopefully be able to make some fresh POW for you.
P.S. We just got a few more of these Mach 1 ski boots in. Great for the high volume kiwi foot.
