Otago Daily Times:

Treble Cone skifield will open for its traditional charity day on Saturday to benefit a canine search and rescue organisation.

Some of the world's best ski racers are in training at Coronet Peak. Top skier Lindsey Vonn, of the United States, had a chat to Henrietta Kjaer.

An up-and-coming young Norwegian snowboarder suffered a serious spine injury after falling while testing a 10m-high jump in Treble Cone's saddle basin on Tuesday and is now being treated at the specialist spine injury unit at Burwood Hospital, Christchurch.

Southern skifield conditions as at 8am this morning.
