   There was too much snow on Mt Lyford in North Canterbury yesterday. Last night 250 skiers had to stay on the mountain in the day lodge 1. The road was closed because of high winds and the risk of avalanches 3 from so much snow. It was too dangerous for cars to drive back down the mountain to their accommodation.


  People slept on seats or on the floor. There were some mattresses 4 for the children. The lodge has a generator 5 for electricity. They used the generator until 11pm to keep the lodge warm.
  The day lodge has a café so dinner last night was leftovers 6 from the café. This morning, a snow groomer machine came up the road, bringing food for breakfast. The groomer cleared some avalanches which had fallen on the road. Later in the day, the wind dropped enough for people to leave.
  In August last year, 1,000 skiers were trapped at Mt Hutt because of high winds. They had to spend the night at the lodge, sleeping on the floor. There were some school groups with their teachers too. However, it is school holidays now so children at Mt Lyford were with families. Listen to August 13th 2010 to hear more about this.
