Snow puns are cool puns:
Central Otago in winter is snow country for cold men.
I told my doctor I slipped on his front step, and she said, ‘Icy.’
How did the snowman get to the snow ball? He rode his icicle.
Me? Ski backwards down the mountain ? Snow way!
An avalanche is snow place to be.
Do mountain resort waiters worry about the wine-chill factor?
Those who play poker in a snowstorm must carefully shovel their decks.
Do soldiers serving in winter wear flake jackets for protection?
The stressed out snowman was acting flaky then he had a meltdown.
Hear about the Roman general who, every time there was an ice storm, he had an epileptic fit? It was ‘Hail… Seizure!’
Will fist-sized ice pellets will clog our vacuum?
Maybe when hail freezes hoover.

I might have missed it but afaik there was no coverage of an incident on the Turoa Ski field that partially buried a Ski Patroller in an Avalanche in the vicinity of the “jumbo Lift”.
Wouldn’t a responsible “news purveyor” have seen a golden opportunity to promote the serious dangers with many thousands about to enter danger zones after a major snowfall when such hazards can be exponentially apparent.
Patrollers as a group are probably the most experienced people who become exposed to the real and present dangers of such events and some coverage might just have been well timed.
Just watching the efforts the previous night of tourists grappling with snow chains along with the totally inappropriate dress codes and preparedness for dangers that can have a healthy adult dying from hypothermia before you can say stupid.
Such matters would just not occur to promoters of infotainment until someone dies I guess.
No one issued a press release????
