a great mountain for everyone to enjoy. Cardrona got a lot of bad press during the NZ & Aussie school holidays. What added to the problem of extra long queue waits was the fact that all the other ski fields around the area were closed due to lack of snow.. This shows that Cardrona is the best field for consistent snow fall. Being a local a can always get a really fun day skiing at Cardrona and I'm an advanced skier who jumps off whatever I can find.
