Cardrona, NZ Conditions Report The Olympic Superpipe continues to be very well looked after and is groomed to perfection daily. Hours of operation will depend on temperatures but expect early closing times. The smaller International Superpipe isn’t being quite as maintained but remains open for most of the day. The Small, Medium and Large parks are still being kept up throughout the day with regular closures to allow take off’s and landings to be touched up. Spring is a great time to be skiing at Cardrona, the lift lines are significantly shorter now and 2 of their lifts now have extended opening hours until 5pm.

Temple Basin, NZ Conditions Report: Powder & Backflips Temple Basin has always been a place I have wanted to ski. Tales of long hikes and a rickety goods lift always left my mind sceptical about the idea venturing into the unknown.

Detailed Las Lenas, Argentina Report: The Corn Machine is On! With rain to the top Friday night I was not eager for first chair. However, with a new week underway there was a ticket line that took about 10 minutes. Heading toward Marte on the Venus chair was another 10-minute line because the parallel poma lift broke down sometime last week (A-factor). Marte itself was not all that busy when I first boarded it a little before 10AM. The upper part of Marte shows evidence that the rain reached the top.

La Parva, Chile Conditions Report: Metamorphosis… No New Snow in 18 Days No new snow in 18 days, but I made the best of the metamorphosing snow in La Parva last weekend, after a couple of days of blasting winds and clouds. On Saturday, the low light was partly compensated by the dirty snow off piste, so you could see something while picking out the windpack lines amidst fields of hacked and tortured snow. Sunday the sun came out and everything looked so much better! Conditions Report Guest Author | September 2, 2015 0 Comments
