The 2025 NZ ski season has delivered plenty of good snow for 2025, the season looks set to close with a stormy finale.
A chain of fronts is delivering a mix of powder days, rain, and gale-force winds – the kind of unpredictable spring conditions that keep skiers and riders guessing. There could possibly be snow down to sea level in the far south on Wednesday morning.
Treble Cone and Coronet Peak saw a fleeting dose of good snow over the weekend, while Mt Hutt was forced to close on Sunday. More snow is forecast early this week, before a warmer, wetter front moves in on Thursday. Friday promises a narrow window of calm before a Tasman storm sweeps across the country.
According to current closing dates for the 2025 NZ ski season: Cardrona will close on October 5, with The Remarkables and Mt Hutt following on October 12. Mt Ruapehu will keep running into late October, though conditions at Mt Ruapehu may be the most volatile for the upcoming week.
For those chasing final turns, the message is simple: be ready for anything
Powder, slush, sunshine and storms – the 2025 ski season is ending much the way it began, with plenty of snow!
