Information

Porters is open with all lifts running! After a lot of hard work from the team hand shoveling lift lines yesterday, we will be opening all lifts -- T1, T2, and T3 -- with early season conditions. At 5:45am we have clear skies, a light breeze and 2 degrees in the base area. The forecast today is for a stunner, with light winds, sunshine and warm temperatures. We’ve had some good recent snow and there will be some fun skiing and riding to be had on the upper mountain, but there are still some areas on the mid mountain where there are plenty of sharks to be found on and off trail – therefore we recommend that experts only access this terrain until we get a bit more snow, and that you either bring rock hoppers or your mate's skis. Our recommendation for the day is Sundance laps and sunscreen. MVPs of the week will be Antoine and his awesome workshop team, they will be waiting at the workshop to address any equipment damage you may incur during the day. From the top of the mountain, through McNultys, we have groomed one pass wide, all the way to the top of Easy Street. Easy Street, platter, and magic carpet have been groomed nice and wide, and with lots of soft forgiving snow, there will be plenty of fun skiing and riding to be had for all abilities. Top tip: If you have a Porters pass from 2023/2024/2025 seasons, you can use the WEBCODE on the front of your card to link your online purchase without checking in at the ticket office. Beat the queue and get up there quick! If you’re looking for a lesson, call in to our ticket office and book a spot with one of our instructors – we have options for all ages and abilities. Kids 10 and under ski for free at Porters. Porters Lodge Restaurant and Bar, just 6km up our access road, will be open for coffee from 9am, and meals from 11am. Our access road is chain free today, however during winter we advise all vehicles to carry chains. Our shuttle service will be running return trips throughout the day, picking up at Chain Bay 2 (and the lodge on request) at 8:45am, 9:30am, 10am, 10:30am and 11:00am. Return shuttles will be available all afternoon. As always, Porters will be offering hassle free parking, friendly vibes, and great skiing all around. See you all up here soon!
