Road info
We are now parking at Rakaia Saddle and offering a free shuttle to our base area. Drop Zone is operating for Peak to Pub contestants. Please note the following temporary changes to the shuttle schedule due to the Peak to Pub event: Uphill shuttles from Rakaia will pause at 12:00 PM. Downhill shuttles to Rakaia will pause at 12:30 PM. Shuttle services will resume at 3:00 PM for drivers to collect their vehicles. Keep left to maintain 2-way access and observe the 40km/h speed limit. If you have a line of cars forming behind you, please pull over to allow faster vehicles to pass safely.
Weather Comment
At 9am we have clear skies overhead, light breezes in the base area and 30km/h southerlies at the summit. It is shaping up be an amazing day up here with a forecast of all day sunshine and easing winds. Please note: there will be temporary road closures during the Peak to Pub race this afternoon. The road will close to uphill traffic from 12:30pm and downhill traffic at 1:15pm. The road then reopen once the last competitors are clear - around 3pm. Off-piste conditions are firm but may soften on solar aspects later in the day. Please check signage before venturing off the groomed trails and respect all closures. Drive safely - we look forward to seeing you up here soon!
