Roundhill Snow History

Snowmaking Can Slow But Not Stop Glacier Melt

One idea being tested on several glaciers around the world in recent years has been to use snowmaking to create a layer of artificial snow in an effort to stop melting and even rebuild glaciers. However results of a study into using snowmaking on the Morteratsch glacier which has been running for two years in south-eastern Switzerland have found that while the process can slow melting, it does not stop it, nor does it stabilise the thawing glacier as a whole. In recent years glacial ice has more and more often been exposed to the direct heat of the summer sun as the ‘protective layer’ of winter snow is quickly melted off the ice during the spring. The darker ice

Went to Roundhill not knowing what to expect. I'm advanced snowboarder and I was with my wife, low intermediate, friend, beginner snowboarder and two kids new to skiing. Everyone loved the place, the terrain is very good for beginner to intermediate with all blues being gentle yet challenging. Good beginner park, some nice jumps. Snow is drier than Queenstown. Facilities are basic but you can park at the base so take your lunch and a couple of chairs for 5 star views at lunchtime. The nutcracker delivers you to amazing terrain! I lived in Colorado and it reminded me of some of the big Vail bowls. On a powder day it would be fantastic! Staff wanted to be somewhere else but having worked in resorts I know the feeling. Still they could learn to smile and suck it up. All in all, Roundhill is great and so good that next year we'll stay at Tekapo for a week rather than go to Queenstown. Keen to check Dobson out too.
