The Snow’s Here!
With 20cm of fresh snow around the base buildings and 30cm at the top of the mountain (as at 11am, Monday 30 May) and increasing by the hour, Cardrona Alpine Resort is gearing up for the 2005 ski season.
“It’s still snowing heavily down to below base level. The snow gates are set up so we can make the most of the snow and the groomers are out compacting what’s arrived,” said field manager, Gary Husband. “It’s always exciting to see the first major fall of winter and this should be a good start of the base for the season. With an unsettled forecast for the remainder of the week, there’s a high possibility we’ll get even more.”
Cardrona Alpine Resort is scheduled to open on 24 June. For more information and web cams visit www.cardrona.com
