It was purely coincidental that it snowed in the Waimarino for the first time this season on Election Night '84. The townships of Ohakune, Raetihi, National Park, Waiouru, and Whakapapa Village all received their first fall of snow over Saturday night and Sunday. The Waimarino countryside looked attractive with its first mantle of snow this year. But what is even more important, both the Turoa and Whakapapa Skifields also received good falls. Last Sunday Whakapapa was operating rope tows on the Hut Flat and in Happy Valley. At Turoa about 30cm (12 inches) fell fairly evenly over the whole
skifield and things look promising for a mid-week start. On Sunday the Ohakune Mountain Road was closed because of the snow.
