Snowfall (7d forecast): +5 cmWind: 3 km/h

Cardrona rises above Wanaka at the head of the Crown Range, a wide sunlit basin where families and freestylers share the same lift queues. The pub on the way up is a Kiwi institution, the McDougall's Express chair tops out at 1860 m, and the snow stays cold and predictable through a long Southern Alps winter.

Snow report FAQ

How fresh is the snow data?+

The current conditions and 7-day forecast are pulled from Open-Meteo (ECMWF, MeteoFrance, DWD and Met Norway models combined) and cached for 30 minutes. Numbers reflect conditions at the resort's latitude and longitude.

What does fresh snow mean?+

The amount of snow that has accumulated over the previous 24 hours, separate from the daily forecast for the next 7 days.

Why is current snow lower than the seasonal average?+

Snow depth varies day by day. Our seasonal average is an indicative monthly target based on altitude and historical reliability. The live number is what is actually on the slopes today.
