Information
Porters is closed today. The next two days have the full range of Canterbury spring weather forecasted - kicking off with rain and winds of up to 200km/h today, followed by more wind and some snow tomorrow. Because it's going to be too windy to groom our slopes or run our lifts, and we don't want to replace the windscreens on our really nice Mitsubishi Tritons (thanks Morrison Mitsubishi) due to airborne rocks, we are going to stay off the mountain today and tomorrow, get some much needed wax on our skis and snowboards, have a well deserved sleep in, and hopefully be back at it on Friday to enjoy some fresh snow with our lucky guests! Please check back for an update at 6am Friday. If you need to contact guest services while we are closed, please email office@skiporters.co.nz Porters Lodge Restaurant and Bar will be closed today but open tomorrow. Season passes for 2026 are now on sale at super earlybird prices. Buy now and also use your pass to ski the remainder of the 2025 season on us. Passes can be purchased with 10 easy monthly payments. On top of all that, we are stoked to introduce our new family pass – click on the “shop now” button up on the top right corner to find out more and purchase.
