1500 at opening of Mount Hutt
Fuel restrictions had no obvious effect on the patronage at Mount Hutt during the week-end, about 1500 skiers making the most of the opening to the season. “It’s the best opening , week-end we’ve ever had for snow conditions.” said the chairman of the Mount Hutt Company (Mr P. Yeoman). On Saturday the weather was a little cloudy and there were light winds yesterday i
morning, but skiers were very happy with the snow. Mr Yeoman said that he was very happy with the numbers attending, particularly when they had only two days notice that the season would open at the week-end. Patronage during Queen’s Birthday week-end, with skiers having ample time to plan a trip, would probably be the first real indicator of the trend during the fuel shorages.
