Mt Lyford Ski Area, located on the South Island of New Zealand, has been forced to close once again due to too much snow. The New Zealand ski season has been one for the recorded books, but some ski areas are finding it hard to stay open with all the new snow.

“SORRY We tried. We are not going to make opening today. There is just too much snow on our road, the visibility is not improving. The lifts also have a good amount of rime ice on them so we will be spending the rest of the day getting everything sorted for a sunny Saturday with plenty of pow.” –
