Fresh snow, amped crew in the lead up to Mt Hutt opening

A southerly storm has dropped 25 – 30 centimetres of fresh snow on the slopes of Mt Hutt in the lead up to the ski area’s Saturday June 14 opening.

Ski Area Manager Dave Wilson says the wintry blast has transformed Mt Hutt, Methven and surrounding areas into a winter wonderland.

“Looking out from our high country ski area onto the plains below is just awesome. We’ve got a good 25 + cms dumped on an existing 30cm base which looks good for opening from the summit on day 1.”
