Remarkables Snow Report
Status
Road
Snow
30cm — 100cm
Road info
Be aware of frost and icy conditions around the 3km mark. Drive with caution and give each other space. As the highway at the bottom of our road has become increasingly busy, turning right has become more difficult and causes traffic to back up our road. Given this, exiting our road is now left turn only. Use the roundabout 1km down the road to turn back to Frankton and Queenstown - only 2mins, and faster and safer for everyone. Ensure YOU CARRY CHAINS with you today as snow is forecasted around lunch time onwards.
Weather Comment
We loved seeing so many of you out carving fresh lines, lapping the parks, and soaking up that alpine energy. The snow kept things interesting, and the stoke was high all day. Rest up, gather your crew, and we’ll see you back up here tomorrow for more. Carpool priority continues tomorrow, see below for more details. Check back at 6:30 in morning for tomorrow's snow report! Ngā mihi — your line’s always waiting at Remarks.
Information
Guests can collect their MyPass card at Queenstown Airport - skip the queue on the mountain and head straight to the snow! Reminder that bringing your own alcohol up to the mountain is prohibited due to liquor licensing. Carpool Priority Days are here for the NZ School holidays. Vehicles with three or more occupants can park in Carparks 1-3, vehicles with less than three, park in Carpark 4 from where the shuttle will run from 0745. Please note on CPDs our shuttles are on Carpark 4, so those in Carparks 1-3 can use the Dropzone to drop the kids and gear at the top, those in Carpark 4 can't access the Dropzone but the shuttle takes you to the front door.
