    Another South Island Ski Field Shuts Its Lifts for 2025 - 🏔️The South Island’s ski season has taken another blow. Just a week after Temple Basin confirmed it wouldn’t be opening, Mt Cheeseman has followed suit, pulling the pin on winter 2025. The reason is as blunt as it is obvious—there’s simply not enough snow.

    Cheeseman, sitting about 60 kilometres from Temple Basin, made the announcement on August 24. Despite a few passing systems and a dusting earlier this month, the mountain still has only 40 centimetres up high and a meagre five at the base. Their last decent fall was eight centimetres on August 19, and nothing has stuck since.

    In a statement on Facebook, management said that while there’s always the chance of a last-minute storm, operating with such thin cover isn’t safe or sustainable. “We’ve had to make the hard call to shut for this season. It’s about looking after staff, keeping the books balanced, and focusing on being here for the long run—including our 100th birthday in 2029.” - full story www.adventuremagazine

    Wānaka’s Craig Murray has won the inaugural Yeti Natural Selection Ski event, held in the incredible Tordrillo mountain range in Alaska.

    “I feel incredible, today has been something out of a dream, this whole setup being out here in the Tordrillo’s is crazy…I honestly can’t believe I ended up in the finals and ended up taking it out, it’s surreal. I am so happy and I would like to thank everyone for all the support, it means so much.” – Craig Murray.

    The invite only event saw legends of freeride take on some of the biggest names in the park & pipe world on the formidable ‘Priority 1’ face in the Alaskan ranges. Utilising a knock out format, over and over again Murray delivered his trademark huge, fluid lines for which he is so well known and respected for in the international ski community. full story follow the bio or go to www.adventuremagazine.co.nz @naturalselectionski @yeti_au
