Frequently asked
How does SnowStash rank South Island resorts by snow forecast?
Every South Island resort is ordered by its total forecast snowfall for the period you pick - the next 24 hours, 5, 10 or 14 days - or by snow that has already fallen in the last 24 hours. Switch the period to re-rank the whole board instantly.
How far ahead can I trust a South Island snow forecast?
The next 24 hours to 5 days are the most reliable. The 10 and 14-day outlooks are useful for spotting a pattern or a storm building, but treat them as a direction of travel rather than an exact number - always re-check closer to your trip.
Can I see the forecast in inches instead of centimetres?
Yes. Use the units toggle to switch the whole board between centimetres/°C and inches/°F. US resorts default to imperial and everywhere else to metric, and your choice is remembered.
Where do the live South Island conditions come from?
Each card shows the resort's current temperature and conditions alongside its forecast total. Open any South Island resort's snow report for the full hourly and daily breakdown, base depths and lift status.
