Canterbury ski fields close early after one of NZ’s warmest winters

Two Canterbury club ski fields have announced an early closure for the season due to adverse weather conditions. The decision follows a period of rain and mild nor’wester winds that have negatively impacted snow conditions in the region.

This closure occurs during what has been recorded as New Zealand’s third-warmest winter on record. The unseasonably warm temperatures have contributed to the premature end of the skiing season for these specific facilities.
