Measuring Powder Snow From Space
A new method to work out where the finest, freshest powder snow is lying has been determined by the European Space Agency (ESA). The agency found that the freshest, lightest snow with the smallest snowflake grain size was the most reflective of sunlight bouncing back off it. Older snow tended to lose its granularity and also, the ESA found, its reflective quality, giving off a duller reflection or lower ‘albedo’ – a measure of the amount of radiation that is reflected back toward space from the Earth’s surface.

Snowfarm has great XC skiing and you can kite to the summits or go touring. The XC area is superbly groomed. Friendly place. Best XC in NZ. Family friendly. If you can skate XC fast you can fly on downhill. Light gear cheap hire. Always open. Great when you get sick of the crowds downhill
