A front is due to cross the South Island this morning and the North Island this afternoon and later this evening. The South Island will get showers in the west and south. Large amounts of snow fell over Coronet Park and The Remarkables on Wednesday night and yesterday and more is expected today. Skiers heading south will be happy to know the fields will be packed with fresh snow over the next few days. Ross Copland, ski manager for Coronet Peak, said now was the perfect time to make most of your ski gear.
