Weather Comment
We're enjoying an amazing start to the day up here with mild temps, clear skies overhead, light winds in the base area and 20km/h southerlies at the summit. All trails and parks have received the careful attention of our expert grooming team overnight and will provide the best skiing and riding to begin with. Today could be our first proper day of Spring skiing and riding as the wind should hold off for most of the day and temps are forecast to climb in the morning sunshine to around 5degC at the summit. This means that some of the firmer snow we have in off-piste terrain might start to soften/release. Keep on eye on signage at the unload of the Summit 6 for the latest status of our off-piste zones and please respect all closures.
Information
Should be a mint day with no queues and heaps of space out on the trails to practice your carve turns. The weather doesn't look too great tomorrow with strong winds and potentially some rain so head up today and make the most of the great conditions!
