SKIING CONDITIONS
TARARUA RANGES
I (By Telegraph—Press Association.) 1 OTAKI, This Day. Snow fell on Table Top and in the vicinity of Field Hut last night, and this morning the weather at Otaki Forks was fine and clear. The weather during the week has been showery with mild temperatures. The slip on the Otaki Gorge Road, which barred access to Otaki Forks last week and gave a large Victoria College party ah extra one and a half mile walk, has now been cleared, and heavy lorries are able to get through to Otaki Forks. Three skiers spent the early part of the week on the ranges, but the rain made the track very slushy, Last week the snow reached half-way to the-, roof of Kime Hut. and, with good weather, conditions this weekend are expected to be excellent. It is understood that a Tararua Tramping Club party is attempting a traverse of the crest of the range from Kaitoke and Tauherenik.au to Otaki Forks. The party will be met at Kime Hut by another Tararua Club party from Otaki Forks.
