More Snow with Antarctic Blast from Late Friday

Summary

South Island ski fields received a shot of snow late Wednesday, and the snow guns have been flat out since. The next storm will hit the country late Friday, bringing a polar blast and high-quality powder to low levels. Canterbury is in the firing line once again, with around half a metre or more expected. Perfect timing for Opening Weekend next week.
