Plenty of spring powder at Cardrona Alpine Resort.
Cardrona Alpine Resort has broken its accumulated
snowfall record by over a metre, with 317cm of snowfall this
season. The previous biggest year on record was 2004 (213cm).
The record amount of snow has provided excellent on and off
piste conditions and will ensure that the resort's popular
terrain park features stay in top shape as the mountain crew
have ample snow to work with. Cardrona's high base elevation
(1670m) also means the snow stays in good condition down to
the base buildings.
To celebrate spring, Cardrona is offering Sensational Spring
Workshops throughout September. Afternoon lessons are only
$40 per person (limited spaces available) providing skiers
and boarders a chance to polish their technique before the
end of the season.
Nadia Ellis, Cardrona marketing manager said spring is a
great time to visit Cardrona. "We have plenty of snow and the
mountain is looking in excellent shape, the resort is
traditionally quieter and we are looking forward to enjoying
the sunnier climes of spring," she said.
Spring's event calendar has a good mix of social competitions
including the Dynastar Ski Masters, 10-12th September,
competing in disciplines of super g, giant slalom, slalom.
Followed by the Jagermeister Snowboard Masters, 19th
September, this will be the finals of the national series
with a giant slalom, a lunchtime halfpipe jam in the
international pipe and a boardercross in the afternoon.
The boarding boys in blue return to Cardrona for the Blue
Hogs NZ Police Championship competing on the boardercross
course and in the halfpipe. Entry is limited to actively
employed New Zealand police officers. Rounding out the season
for the young ones, the Calci Yum Cardrona Kids Festival
(Wednesday 30th Sept) provides multiple fun events on snow
for kids. The children can expect face painting, candy,
laughter, smiley faces and lots of noise.
Cardrona received snowfall on thirteen days in August and
currently holds an upper snow base of 170cm, the resort is
set to stay open until October 4th.
