Snowfall warning for NZ resorts issued Monday, 16th June at 20:45 NZ time. A strong SW flow will develop from Sunday. This will bring widespread snow to low levels early next week. Update (Sunday 22 Jun, 1am NZ time): The promising forecast for NZ is unchanged. Some heavy falls to low levels this week.

Eh, here in Utah we got a super late start..... Like Normally when they're open and bumping we hadn't had any snow at all yet.  It ended up being one of the snowiest seasons in awhile.  Epic.
Give it time... it could hit hard soon.

My buddy nick pushes cat at park, and he sent me some pics of the dirt.

I feel super bad for all the shreds who are about to hop on a plane to the south island just to get skunked.

Im sure there will be tons of snow soon enough.

Any snow before the shortest day is usually a waste of time, I think its mainly the ski areas getting greedy and trying to open early and giving people false expectations. Hopefully the snow over the next couple of days gets things fired up again!

ahah yeah australia kicks arse!! its so dope and nz resorts are soooo small and damn shity it sucks thats why pros come over to nz in their summer rather than auz!
  and no snow park isnt the only park here that kills, cardies have a sick set up this year so do remarks and hutt. you cant judge shit, auzzie ski fields are a hunk of shit and you know it.

falls creeks parks way better than cardronas.. and so is perishers. 

over all when nz has snow its way better...  for about  3 days at most resorts..the club fields are sick. and the exeption to the rule there soo sick  and so is the remarks.. but as soon as the pows gone. and its icy again .. and you have 4  lifts to ski!! yay! sooo sick.. wethers at perisher theres 50.. i never ski in Aussie any more .. but for you to talk mad shit on something you have no idea about is stupid... Mt hutts park is shit.. soo is  cornets, and the remarks well maybe they will step it up this year but its still not nearly as good as perisher or falls...
educate your self.. pros go to nz for one reason!! snowpark.. also club fields kill it.  and heli skiing is fun too shoot photos.. but when theres no snow. australia is better. thats why Falls has stylewars. and torstin Hormego stomped the biggest f/s 10 in comp history there. i never said nz was shit.... you just assumed I said that..  but you have proably never been skiing in Australia wethers ive spent 6 winters in nz... and used to ski everyweekend at perisher from the ages of 12 to 16... and been to every victorian resort.. bar buller (which sucks anyways) hotham.. ,falls and perisher are sick end of story.
