A general forecast for the Queenstown/Wanaka snowfields of the South Island of New Zealand.
| CORONET PEAK | REMARKABLES | MT HUTT | TREBLE CONE | CARDRONA | |
| 24HR SNOW | 0cm | 0cm | 0cm | 0cm | 0cm |
| DEPTH | 0cm | 0cm | 0cm | 40-150cm | 0cm |
| TEMP | N/A | N/A | N/A | 7.6 | N/A |
Long Range Outlook
Heavy rain has damaged the cover significantly this morning and with strong winds and the rain continuing this morning the snowfields have made the decision to close today.
Snowfalls will develop this afternoon and be heavy at times and hopefully replenish what has been lost. I would expect tomorrow that there could be avalanche danger and mountain operations will most likely need to do safety checks before the snowfields open.
Further ahead light snow on the 26th.
