Weather Comment

Open After the wild weather, winds eased around 6.30am for our grooming team to head out and work on the mid-mountain. Please note there is a slight delay on the Nor’West Lift, our team is working hard to get the lift spinning we’re aiming for a 10.30am opening. Once mid-mountain is groomed our team will move to the upper terrain and if winds continue to ease, we’re hopeful the Summit will open around midday. The best skiing and riding today will be on the main trails. Please remember to wear your helmet and layer up against these winds. Snow is in the forecast for tonight, so we might be looking at a cheeky powder day tomorrow (Friday). Drive safe, and we look forward to seeing you all soon.
