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 Zealandโ€™s beautiful Mackenzie Country in fairly quick successionโ€”with 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:
