Snow Report – 10 July 2024

We’re back with the latest Queenstown Wānaka Snow Report and we’re stoked to see that all mountains are riding well with chalky snow and cold temperatures. 

Coronet Peak has all lifts open and Cardrona now has jumps in at Antlers Alley. The Remarkables has the new Shadow Basin chairlift spinning and Treble Cone is open from top to bottom.  A massive high is sitting off the country delivering cold temperatures and beautiful bluebird days, so get amongst it!
