Report from 9 August, 2024
Enter the White Room.
Another funky-fun foot of powder snow has blanketed Ohau Snow Fields.
This latest 24-ish hour storm is the second to grace New Zealandโs beautiful Mackenzie Country in fairly quick successionโwith more to come.
In brief: base is well-established, snowpack is cush (w/a bit of sass for appeal), and everywhere the powder portal is only opening all-the-wider.
Enjoy a few PHOTOS from the day:
