#SaveOurSnow Campaign Launched to Mark 70 Years of Conquest of Everest

The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has marked the 70th anniversary of the first summiting of Mount Everest by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary by launching a fresh call on governments of the world to decarbonise now. Mountain communities, climbers and scientists from Everest are warning that Mt Everest is undergoing rapid change due to global warming, with a rapid loss of snow and ice cover destabilising the world’s tallest mountain. Anyone who love mountains is asked to share stories and pictures from mountains around the world, highlighting climate impacts using the hashtag #SaveOurSnow They are also invited to sign a declaration calling for a strong commitment to decarbonise.

Another reviewer couldn’t be further from the truth. The manager at Porters goes out of his way to help clients and lifts are all not (did you mean to include 'not', ed?) closed when the weather conditions make it unsafe for them to operate - and this information is communicated on their website in advance. If Mt Hutt is closed you can bet Porters will be open due to the different orientation of the slopes. No queues at Porters and extremely friendly staff. Closest skifield to Christchurch, best value for money and in my opinion some of the best off-piste runs in the area.
