Information
MÅrena (Good morning) from Whakapapa, where light snowfall greets us this morning in the base area. Overnight we saw cold, clear weather that helped our snowmakers do what they do best. Early this morning snow began falling at the top of the gondola.We expect snow to continue to fall this morning with it increasing in the afternoon. For now, we are scheduled to open Happy Valley and the Sky Waka gondola at 9am.The road is restricted to chains and 4WDs. As we expect the snow to continue to fall throughout the day, we expect this restriction to remain in place. Please take care when driving up today.
