The owners of two dogs that went missing nearly six months ago are asking Marlburians to keep thier eyes peeled, following potential sightings in the region.

Dice, a 9-year-old black poodle, and Weed, a 3-year-old black and white fox terrier cross, were first reported missing from the Otago Peninsula by their owners Alan Funnell and Louisa Andrew on October 17.

Andrew said on the first and second day New Zealand went into level-four lockdown in response to Covid-19, there were two potential sightings in Kaikōura. There was also another potential sighting in Picton last Friday, April 3.

"It's very difficult, we had a sighting in Kaikōura, which on day one of lockdown sounded really promising," Andrew said.

Due to staffing, Rainbow Ski Area will need to make a decision on the whether the season will go ahead by around June, the general manager says.

The Covid-19 outbreak meant the ski field had frozen the sale of their season passes, in case the not for profit club were unable to provide a refund, should the ski field not open.

Rainbow Ski Area general manager James Lazor said the goal was for the field to open on July 3.

"That all depends on the government and their decision on the alert level, but in June we would need to start making a decision on staff," Lazor said.
