The Coronet Peak ski area will open this morning more than a week later than planned.
The first skiers hit the slopes at 9am on Wednesday after 25cm of snow settled on the mountain as an arctic polar blast made its way up the country on Tuesday.
"On top ofthe 48 hours of snowmaking we've had, we've got a great base on the trails to get going," NZSki CEO Paul Anderson said.
