The first major snow storms of the winter are crossing the Queenstown region this week. We expect to receive several large snow falls over the next 8 days.

Yesterday the heliski team woke up to 60 cm of new snow. We had to clear snow from the helicopter and helipad. Very large avalanches had run on Mt Apharwat, current conditions are excellent powder skiing. Yesterday the guiding team completed avalanche rescue training and today we are hoping to get airborne for a recce of the heliski areas.
