Road info
Our access road is on HOLD this morning whilst we complete dozing. We are confident of having this completed by 0900 - 0930. Chains will be required on all vehicles from Bottom Hut today. Radio up from Bottom Hut requesting "Road Cone" for the latest road conditions. Radio again from the container if you are wanting to drive up our summer road. Please be aware and respectful of farm traffic through Glenthorne Station.
Weather Comment
We have clearing skies this morning mixed with limited visibility at times. Expecting some pops of blue from lunch time onwards.
Information
Monday September 7th. OPEN. We have received 10cm at the bottom of Main Tow and 20cm at the top of Top Tow in the last 24 hours. The snow came in warm and has left us cold. With clearing skies and cool temps with no wind expected throughout the day today is shaping up to be a cracker. The phrase of today is "ski it all in" - come and help us out! We welcome the GRITT whanau up here today for their coaching clinic installing confidence, inspiring young athletes and passing generational knowledge - we are stoked to have you! Access will start off on HOLD this AM whilst we get as many folks up to the Main Tow shed car park as possible (please fill up your cars from the Container) and once that is full we will start to facilitate access up Access Tow. Chef Lloyd is back cooking up a storm. Lloyd only has capacity to take a few more lunches on this morning as we have huge numbers already. It is likely we will have to shut booking lunches off by 9-10am so plan accordingly. Come on up and enjoy a day at the playground of the gods. Derek is back to greeting you, sloppys are always flowing and booking in for lunch will never be a let down... Our access road is on HOLD this morning whilst we complete dozing.
