Report from 1 August, 2024

Old Man Winterโ€™s been enjoying a right good rowdy-up at Ohau Snow Fields, in the Mackenzie Highcountry of New Zealandโ€™s Southern Alps.

Certainly not a secret but kinda hidden all the same, Ohau dazzled under approximately three-feet of fresh powder snow; Wowzer.

A storm total such as this doesnโ€™t fall from the sky everyday. It might one of the deepest examples weโ€™ve ever skied here.

Weโ€™re stoked to share it in photo essay form.
