Kiwi Snow Reports, New Zealand

April 20 , 2001 - Free and Independent

Kia Ora

Well before the snow even falls we have branded the 2001 season. Yep. In case you haven't heard , it is The Season of the Pass. Season Pass that is.

Touted as the best way to learn how to ski or snowboard ( buying one that is ) these brilliant little bits of photographic plastic have blasted their way in to the way cool category. Buy one and be proud of it. Wear them out at night, hang them from the rear view mirror, flash them as ID passing through customs or try and get a discount from the local video store.

Lets face it. If you are thinking of even moderately hitting the snow this year in Aotearoa then this is a fashion accessory you've just got to have. Heck, may as well get a couple.

Booted of brilliantly by nzski.com on February 21 with a stunning Triple Mountain Season Pass priced at NZ$299. Wholey moley, I thought! That's a third the cost of last years early season pass.

Still recovering from the delicious shock of it all my fax rung out once more and it's Cardrona following suit ...... only one hour later twenty minutes later .... I know, I kept the faxes. NZ$295.

The Season of the Pass was on.

Anyone that has tasted the Irishman or Frenchman runs at Keystone will just know that the "free passes at Vail resorts " option clearly places nzski.com in the religious cult arena ...... seriously trying to pervert our lives to a series of hedonistic powder experiences interspersed with some frantic short term attempts at running a work or family life. Got to love it.

There are surprisingly few conditions attached to these deals although subscribing online will take a while with some pdf files to deal with. We have summarised some of the deals on offer but probably the most important thing is that some of them

Close at 5pm on April 22
