Canterbury Set for Major Dump as Storm Cycle Rolls Across New Zealand

After a settled week, New Zealand's ski season is about to get a proper shake-up. A storm rolling in from Friday will bring rain and gale-force winds before a cold southerly change drops fresh snow across the South Island. The Southern Lakes should pick up 10-15cm by Sunday, while Canterbury is in line for the goods - Mt Hutt and the Craigieburns are forecast solid totals, with the north set to cop the heaviest falls of the lot. Ruapehu largely misses out, but Opening Day should be a cracker.

The commercial resorts are still finalising their opening dates, but snowfall like this has a way of accelerating those conversations. More snow is in the 14-day forecast - here's the full picture.
