Pete's Snow/Ski Pics

A big southerly storm the day before dumped a lot of snow over the Southern Alps. The flight from Wellington to Queenstown was the best I'd ever been on due to the clear conditions, fresh snow and the pilot deciding to give everyone a scenic tour by doing a couple of laps around Mt Cook and the glaciers.

So many people got caught out by the big snow in June. It came down very quickly and didn't take long for the roads to disappear under snow.

The upside was that I was able to do a moonlight ski to Millbrook and the next day I skied all around the streets of Arrowtown.

After a few days of very heavy rain and snow, there was a brief break in the weather to reveal just how much snow had fallen in the last day. The good weather didn't last long before more rain and snow came through around lunchtime.

This was the first good snow fall in Queenstown for 2 years. At one point, the snow flakes were the size of the old 50c pieces.
