The word from NZ, Thanks to Cardrona Resort for the feed. After a couple e-mails w/ the marketing dept, permission was approved for reposting updates. Now if I could just get others to extend the same amount of cooperation,...the Whole World Snow Report Cardrona New Zealand "Snow conditions at Cardrona Alpine Resort are holding up well, despite the current drought the South Island is experiencing. Our high altitude, natural snow and extensive grooming have combined to ensure good on-trail skiing and boarding continues. Feedback from customers is also positive. Ross M. from Scotland said he was pleasantly surprised with the snow conditions. We've been up most days and I think Cardrona has done really well to get such good cover, especially on the lower half of the mountain." Cardrona
