Information

OPENING FOR THE 2025 SEASON SOON! The northwest winds from the storm last weekend (13 July) filled in the upper basin nicely! There is decent coverage from the ridge to about 1600 meters. There isn't consistent snow coverage to Palmer Lodge yet, but it's possible to ski through the snow and tussock to get to the lodge. The bottom of our tow lines need some work to be rideable. We'll be out assessing conditions and keep you posted.
