Information
Morena from a clear but blustery Whakapapa.Overnight we had mostly clear conditions on the maunga. Presently it is clear from the base area to the top of the mountain, along with some strong wind gusts at the top of the T-bars. The forecast is for the weather to deteriorate later in the day.We will OPEN Happy Valley beginners, the Rangatira Chair, and the Sky Waka gondola all from 9am. The Valley T and Delta Chair will follow in behind these once they are de-iced. The Knoll T and West Ridge Chair are ON HOLD due to strong wind gusts, and they will need to be de-iced. We will have updates on progress and facilities on the live feed from 7.30am.(Please note that our weather stations are reading the constant wind speeds - presently at the top of the Knoll T we have 95kph wind gusts)
