Snow.co.nz

Snow.co.nz is an information-rich resource for anyone wanting to ski NZ's commercial and club ski areas. Rather than duplicate what already exists on each area's own site, Snow.co.nz cleverly & seamlessly integrates this information with its own to provide a credible centralised reference of NZ's ski areas, snow reports, events and industry contacts. The site's navigation is, on the whole, easy to use although it did get a little confusing when the Mt Cook site navigation bar appeared alongside its own. A good search engine allows visitors to locate industry contacts under different criteria and there's a map based navigation system too, although this returned a javascript error when one judge tried it (No doubt this will have been fixed by the time you read this). We wonder if a few more web technologies might make this a more unique experience for visitors, perhaps some ski footage? As it is however, this is a great site.
