Information
Porters is open today and it’s looking like another great day ahead! At 5:45am we have clear skies, with light winds at all elevations. It is currently 1 degree in the base area. We are expecting another beautiful day on the mountain, with fun skiing and riding to be had on chalky snow, low crowds and our usual great vibes. All lifts are open. All the main trails have been groomed overnight with Easy Street being the pick first thing this morning. Off trail conditions remain firm but may soften during the day. There are windblown pockets of fresh snow in places but please ski & ride with care as early season conditions exist. If you’re looking for a lesson, pop into 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. Pop in for apres after enjoying a day on our slopes. Our access road is chain free today. We recommend in winter that all vehicles 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 9:30am and 10:30am. Return shuttles will be available all afternoon. If you have a NZSki Superpass, you are able to use this at Porters.
