Well New Zealand has pulled away from Australia in the Bledisloe of snow with a strong first quarter lead after the metre snow storm that has battered the South Island.
While the Aussie mountains wait patiently for our first big dump, we thought we’d gaze longingly at photos from across the Tasman. Got photos you think we should feature? Throw them up on Instagram with a #mountainwatch or send an email to alexh@mountainwatch.com
First, a video report from Cardona. Not bad, right?
