Information
Good morning! We are open today.Overnight winds have delayed our grooming, the Nor 'West is currently open and our cats have now completed grooming the Upper Mountain. We are assessing wind conditions to determine whether it is safe to operate the Summit and Triple Chairs, our goal is to have all three lifts spinning today!The forecast indicates winds should ease from late morning onwards. Overnight, we received approximately 2cm of new snow, followed by light rain, which has softened the snowpack.Please show consideration and respect to your fellow skiers and riders by observing the Snow Code: "Give Way" means matching your speed to surrounding skiers and riders in busier areas and being prepared for others to make sudden changes in direction or speed. Our Slope Safety team will be out today enforcing the Snow Code and will suspend lift access where necessary.We look forward to seeing you up here!
