Hi. It varies but Spring is around the corner and there isn't likely to be snow on the ground. You'll see it up on the mountain tops for the next couple of months (til about October/November). Actually 'experiencing' snow if unlikely even now in August. Each year is a little different however. Check out the Trans Alpine website http://www.tourism.net.nz/region/christchurch/transport/trains . Hope that helps.
