Morena and welcome to Wednesday at Whakapapa. Well its happened - overnight we received top to bottom snow!! We estimate receiving 10 cm's at the base and up to 20cm's up high! We will confirm these later in the morning.We are expecting snow flurries to continue throughout the morning, easing around lunch to some clear weather later.Happy Valley will OPEN from 9am for beginner skiing and snowboarding. Sledding is also available which you can book and buy on line.The Sky Waka gondola is ON HOLD due to high winds, and for de-icing. We are expecting the wind to ease to allow us to get this open later in the morning. This will be constantly assessed and we will have an update at 8am.
