Cardrona

It's good.

People will come straight, you know, finishing day up at Cardrona and straight on the lake.

It's pretty special.

And the South Island ski season is winding to an end with the last major ski field, Cardrona, having its final weekend.

Cardrona's Chief Mountain Officer, Laura Headley, says the field is looking good with a cold blast dropping 25 centimeters of fresh snow.

She says to end the season, they have some fun activities planned, including a live DJ set and a mountain bikes on snow event.

Let's head to sport.

And we're driving back down the hill and I felt this like a spicy cough, Paul, like the spicy cough, like the return of the spicy cough.

And as I got to the bottom of the hill, we went to the Cardrona Hotel and, you know, hi to all those people at the Cardrona Hotel tonight.

And we had a beer and I wasn't feeling great.

In the exposed ground, gold lay bright at about shoulder height.

That afternoon, they recovered nine ounces, six pennyweights, and twelve grains.

Erosion had opened the bank before they began.

Looking forward to, if you're in and around the Cardrona area, get down there and take a look and support the crew down there.

And I'm sure, I just clicked to it the other day, that your old man, AJ, Aaron Jameson, who was quite the weapon back in the 90s when I was playing in the snow, here we're there cheering you from the sidelines going, I could do that better, right?
