Mōrena from a cold and clear Whakapapa.Overnight, our snowmaking team has enjoyed an excellent run of cold, dry conditions. The snow guns have been firing all night and it is a very welcome sight!It's shaping up to be a beautiful day to visit Whakapapa.The Sky Waka Gondola and Snowland will open from **10:00am **. Lorenz's Bar and Café and Retail will be open from **9:30am **, ready to welcome you with breakfast, coffee, and all your mountain essentials.A quick heads-up for anyone heading to Knoll Ridge Chalet today: **Pātaka ** remains closed while we complete our winter renovations. The chalet will still be serving coffee, refreshments, and a selection of cabinet food throughout the day. If you're after a more substantial meal, we recommend stopping by Lorenz's Bar and Café before heading up the gondola.We look forward to welcoming you to the mountain today. Enjoy the sunshine, the fresh snowmaking, and another fantastic day at Whakapapa.
