Information
Sorry, we're closed today.Overnight, we received 25cm of fresh snow and it's still absolutely puking down this morning. The forecast is calling for another 15 to 20cm throughout the day.With increasing winds, low visibility across the ski area, and challenging road conditions, opening safely today will be difficult. Our storm crews are already out on the mountain carrying out avalanche control work.To be honest, the next few days are looking a little uncertain, but we'll continue to assess conditions and provide updates. Please check back tomorrow for the latest information.
