We are planning to open for afternoon powder skiing and riding after receiving 10-15cm of new snow.At this stage, the Carpet lifts and the Nor'West Express will be open. Our Ski Patrol team needs the winds to ease and visibility up high to improve before they can continue control work on the upper mountain.If, and it's a big if, we can get the upper terrain cleared and deemed safe, we will aim to open Summit lift this afternoon.Snowports lesson groups will run from 1:00pm to 4:00pm today.Thank you for your patience and understanding.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!
