New Zealand 7 Day Forecast

A general forecast for the Queenstown/Wanaka snowfields of the South Island of New Zealand.

Long Range Outlook

Snowfalls yesterday and last night have added 22cm at Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Cardrona, whilst we saw 35cm drop at Treble Cone.

Light snow showers today will give a nice top up to the Spring cover of around 5-10cm.

Even better news is that on Thursday snow showers will develop and increase to heavy snowfalls overnight with around 30-50cm possible which will be a huge late season boost to the snowfields. One thing to note is that with such heavy snowfalls it's likely that mountain crews will need to safety check slopes due to possible avalanche danger. Also roads will be snow affected so we could see some closures. Once clear the weekend is looking great for a ski or board with a deep Spring cover at all resorts.
