Something to be aware of.

If anyone knows ice, it’s Americans – so we’ve gotten their help to refine how we anti-ice roads in Central Otago.

We already apply anti-ice chemicals to our state highways in winter. We mostly use CMA (calcium magnesium acetate), which is non-corrosive and biodegradable.

CMA works by preventing frozen water from bonding together on the road, so the likelihood of ice forming is massively reduced.

We usually apply CMA in one dose ahead of ice forming. Now, using a new formula we’ve developed along with the experts who came up with CMA, we’ll be applying an initial coat of CMA well ahead of ice forming, and following up with subsequent thicker coats.

This has a major benefit to you: The new method also preconditions the road for future coats, making the CMA much more effective and reducing the likelihood of ice forming. It also makes the CMA less slippery right when it’s initially applied, which makes your travel smoother on recently-treated roads.

You still need to be careful if you’re travelling on a road where we’ve just applied CMA, especially if come across roadworkers applying the CMA. Pass slowly and keep as safe a distance as possible. The road immediately behind the roadworkers may still be a bit slippery.

As you can see from this photo, when CMA is applied it makes the road look wet.

We’re constantly monitoring how winter weather is affecting travel on the state highways, but conditions can change quickly in winter and the speed at which snow and ice can appear means there’ll be times we haven’t yet been able to spread grit or the anti-ice treatments.

Intense periods of weather such as snow, ice, and severe rain can make it unsafe to travel which means we may have to temporarily close state highways. Always check our page to see if state highways are affected before you travel.

A huge shout‑out to all the incredible volunteers who keep the Otago Motorcycle Club ticking along. Whether it’s our MNZ‑permitted events or the social rides and club activities that bring everyone together, every part of what we do relies on people who give their time, energy, and passion.

We’re sharing this MNZ Volunteer Week video as a thank‑you to the people who keep our sport and our club moving. From setting up tracks and helping at sign‑on to organising rides, supporting new members, and pitching in wherever needed — you make OMCC the community it is.

Thank you to every single volunteer. We appreciate you more than you know. 🏍️💛
