Road info
As the highway at the bottom of our road has become increasingly busy, exiting our road is now left turn only. Use the roundabout 1km down the road to turn back to Frankton and Queenstown - only 2mins, and faster and safer for everyone.
Weather Comment
Saturdays are for the sliders as they say. Whether it's sliding on the snow or dipping into the cafe for a brekkie slider, there's something for everyone here at the Kawarau Maunga. Unfortunately last night's storm did not produce a significant amount of snow with only a couple of cms on the upper mountain that has been blown around by strong winds. A brief period of rain has left the lower mountain slick and variable off piste. Care needs to be taken if venturing off trail. The good news is that the groomers have worked their magic and there is fresh cord to be sampled this morning Carpool Priority continues today, see below for details.
Information
It's Carpool Priority Days for the NZ School holidays. Vehicles with three or more occupants can park in Carparks 1-3, vehicles with less than three, park in Carpark 4 from where the shuttle will run from 0745. Please note on CPDs our shuttles are on Carpark 4, so those in Carparks 1-3 can use the Dropzone to drop the kids and gear at the top, those in Carpark 4 can't access the Dropzone but the shuttle takes you to the front door :).
