11 July Update: We are still awaiting more snow to open the mountain. There is a lot of weather watching going on but, at present, its all down to some patience and playing the waiting game - it will come! If you are booked into Snowline Lodge over the next few days we will be in touch with you about options moving forward. If you’ve not heard from us, please reach out so we can make contact. We are gutted to not be able to open as of yet, but we will make it happen as soon as we are in a position to do so – stayed tuned for future updates and keep the positive snow thoughts flowing! Regards the Cheeseman Crew.
