At Coronet Peak, man-made snow had got it through the Australian and New Zealand school holiday period, which ends on Sunday. Skiers and snowboarders wait to board a chairlift at Coronet Peak yesterday. "The product is still excellent, even though we've only had about 25cm of natural snow to date." The Remarkables has been less reliant on snowmaking, with 80cm of natural snow to date. Its skifields had received good early snow, seen it washed away by rain, then received another good fall.
