It just gets better and better!

The snow has continued to fall on and off over the past week and the forecast predicts more on Sunday – it just gets better and better! Today is a Bluebird day on the mountain and we are hosting a corporate day for the Accounts vs Lawyers race.

Last Sunday was another huge day on the field with the Primary & Intermediate school champs with 250 kids from Canterbury schools competing for individual prizes and the schools trophies. The weather was a little cloudy but snow conditions were perfect on the course and new snow began falling just as the last racers headed through the gates. Thanks to everyone who came along to support this annual event. The winning primary school was Medbury and the winning intermediate was Selwyn House – individual times are available on our homepage.

Ski weekers on Open 2 Week have been enjoying the excellent conditions along with daily lessons and social activities which included a quiz evening last night. This Sunday Family week 3 kicks off and there are still a few spaces available. There will be a nanny available to look after children for a few hours a day so why not utilise the new Online Booking system and Book In Now.
