Road info
Chains are required on ALL vehicles from Chain Bay 1 (Info Booth) to begin with. Check signage at the start of the access road as this requirement might be relaxed as the day warms up. Self-fit chain hire is available from Chain Bay 1 (Info Booth). Drivers of vehicles who breach our chain call and invariably require assistance from our road patrol team will be charged a $800 fee. If you see a line of traffic forming behind you, please pull to the side to allow faster vehicles past. Speed limit on our access road is 40km/h. Please keep to the left to maintain two-way access at all time.
Weather Comment
Fine. Southwesterlies.
Information
Mōrena!Overnight, we received approximately 10cm of new wind-affected snow. The storm moved through quickly and, as a result, conditions vary across the ski area. In some locations you will find pockets of fresh snow, while in exposed high-wind areas the snowpack has been stripped back to a firm base layer.The best skiing and riding conditions will be found on the main groomed trails. If you are planning to head off-trail, please read and follow all signage before entering any terrain.We look forward to seeing you up here!
