Snow Arrives as Cardrona Works to Complete New Lift Installation

Wanaka, New Zealand (Friday, May 7, 2004) - Cardrona Alpine Resort is once again looking white after early season snowfalls in the last few days. These early falls will lower the ground’s temperature and prepare the way for the season’s snow base and opening day on June 24th.

The snow hasn’t hampered work on the new Whitestar Express lift which is right on schedule. The top station of the new high-speed quad is nearly complete, all the towers are installed and the cross arms and pulley batteries were flown in last weekend. Work is currently under way on the bottom station.

Work continues on the base area of Cardrona's new Whitestar Lift, with the season's first snow blanketing the ground with white. (photo: Cardrona Alpine Resort)
