Somewhere Above the Clouds...

Hot off the press! (Monday 28th Sept @ 11am). While we sit in town wondering how day-light saving could have such an adverse effect on the weather situation, the pristine skiing continues in the mountains. School holidays in full swing now, and Porters is the perfect destination for your holiday excursion! Get out of town and away from the weather and up to Porters for some fun on the snow! This week (Mon-Fri) you can get two Adult beginner ski or snowboard packages for the price of one. It's the perfect time to learn to ski or snowboard - the snow is fresh and soft, the temps are warmer, and the slopes are uncrowded!

Grey, drab, wet and miserable in Christchurch today, but up at Porters, the lifts are being utilised to 'rise above it', moving up through the clouds to an awesome view of the clouds in the valley below. These images through just now (Mon morn) from Luke Armstrong, Porters Operations Manager, as he inspects the mountain after the recent snowfalls over the past few days.
