Bad weather yesterday closed Wanaka skifields and forced the postponement of the first day of events at the New Zealand University Snow Games.
The University Snow Games are held annually in Wanaka and attract entries from 10 tertiary education institutions throughout New Zealand.
Melbourne University has also entered a team.
Team managers were to be contacted last night by event organisers with a revised programme and it was hoped yesterday's scheduled events - the giant slalom and slalom for skiers and giant slalom for boarders - could be rescheduled.
The social programme in Wanaka, was unaffected and continues tonight with the Op Shop Ball.
There will be a prizegiving on completion of the games on Wednesday night.
The Uni Games hotline for weather and postponements is (021) 870-212.
