After 1 four days of south-easterly weather, during which more than three inches of rain fell, causing creeks to 'flood ahd block roads in several places, the weather is now fine and sunny. The heaviest fall of snow in the Mount Cook region for years has just been experienced at the Hermitage, where there was- 14 inches of snow yesterday. A bus ran into two feet of snow at Huskie camp. The road to the Ball Hut yesterday was blocked because of the heavy fall, but a snow plough should have the route cleared tO-day. There were several feet of snow at the ski-ing grounds near the Ball Hut, and the fall is very opportune because of the heavy winter sports programme.
