There's been lots of fresh snowfall in New Zealand over the past few days with ski areas reported up to 50cm of fresh snowfall.
The Remarkables and Rainbow ski areas have each officially reported 20cm in the past 24 hours alone but a spokesperson for Rainbow said they'd actually had a lot more,
"Another 50cm (yes - 50cm) have fallen up top and 25+cm on the rest of the Mt. Winds may increase from the SE. It should have stopped snowing 8 hours ago so who knows what will happen, but the skiing and riding will be amazing," they said.
The Remarkables reports 40cm in total in the past few days.
Most areas have returned to blue skies now and Coronet Peak (pictured) reporting conditions are "epic."
Turoa's base of 174cm is currently the deepest in the southern hemisphere.
