"The snow surface is better, it's been really cold, the humidity's been really low, so the snow we've made has been really good and the snow conditions are really good."
Ms van der Voort, who has been at Treble Cone since the late 1980s, said off-trail conditions in the Home Basin were not as good as last year, but on-trail was "superior to last year".
And because it was cold, the snow was "not going anywhere".
Since a big fall of snow at the start of the season, there had been 20cm across the saddle at the very end of the school holidays and 5cm a few days ago.
"When the rain hit the region [two weeks ago], everyone got rain; we actually got snow. We were lucky."
At Cardrona, the field's marketing manager, Nadia Ellis, said the field's on-piste conditions were now "fantastic" after recent rain.
"We haven't got off-piste riding available but what we do have on the groomed trails is just awesome."
NZski chief executive James Coddington said colder temperatures were bringing good news for Coronet Peak and the Remarkables.
"It's now cold enough to make snow and most [New Zealand skifields] are making snow all night when the temperatures allowed and that's been the last two nights, which has significantly improved the snow pack."
Natural snow was expected on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and NZski was "hopeful that it will bring some coverage".
