Information
Happy 4th July!! Porters is open. We received 15cm of new snow yesterday, which has transformed the mountain! Our groomers have been out overnight and groomed Easy Street wide. With warm temperatures, light winds, and soft forgiving snow, our slopes will offer up some very fun skiing and snowboarding today. At 5.45 am it is 3 degrees, with patchy high cloud and light winds in the base area. The forecast calls for high cloud to increase a bit as the day goes on, with continuing light winds. Easy street, platter and magic carpet are looking great this morning, and with current weather conditions should be soft and perfect for some fun turns. With expected low crowds, this week is a great time to learn to ski or brush up on your technique, so call into our ticket office and book a lesson 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 with an amazing new menu from 11am. Pop in for apres after a fun day on the slopes. Our access road requires chains on 2WD vehicles first thing this morning. If you do not have chains, just park up at chain bay 2 or Porters Lodge and hop on to our shuttle, which leaves at 9.15am, with return trips throughout the day. During winter we advise all vehicles to carry chains. Nordica/Blizzard Demo Day today! Looking forward to seeing you all on the hill today!
