New snow has loaded The Remarkables.Half a metre of snow fell at the ski area early this week, but luckily progress is still “on track” on the completion of the new  Curvy basin chairlift. The new high speed chairlift is part of a multi-million dollar investment for the ski area and will open up 20% more terrain and countless off-piste opportunities.Final load tests are scheduled to be carried out on June 5 before the new lift is officially “handed over” to NZSki on June 6, well before the ski area’s scheduled opening on June 21.
