Tuki Huck, of Queenstown, enjoys one of the first runs of the season at Coronet Peak yesterday morning.
The Coronet Express, Meadows Express and three carpet lifts were operating in what was described as "early season conditions".
The skifield opened yesterday, three days later than intended.

While the skifield was still waiting to benefit from any major snowfall, it had received timely top-ups which, coupled with snowmaking, meant crews had been able to build the base. On Monday, 4cm of snow fell.
