When does the best snow arrive in Queenstown?
Snow can fall as early as March (although does not tend to stay around long)
Snow will settle on the ski fields when the ground temperature has cooled down which tends to be May
How deep is the snow in town?
The lake is a constant temperature of around 13C year round so the “warmer air” off the lake normally prevents the snow settling in town. It tends to only settle 1 or 2 times a year for a day or so when it is really cold
Where can I see the webcams on the snow?
Many of the mountains have their own webcams so you can see the live snow – check their websites.
There are also a number of hotels that have cams too check out this site
