Glad that NZ Ski has put in a lot of snowmaking machines, pretty much wouldn't have had a season without them. Fingers crossed for next year. Have had some unusual lift closures this year, the local word is it is due to lack of staff and lack of training, ie. starting lifts without de-icing first! Way too expensive for what you get. A tiny field compared to overseas, generally poor snow but can be good for a few hours after a dump. Staff generally friendly this season. Food way too dear and they closed the café side early this year due to lack of people/staff. Probably won't buy a seasons pass this year. Will just pick the good days.
