Information
It's a great day to be out on the slopes. We've got fresh snow and bluebird skies throughout the day. Plenty of off-piste is open, with even more opening as the day goes on.We have received 25cm of new snow which remains largely untracked due to restricted operations in low visibility yesterday. Our patrol team will be out conducting avalanche control work first thing so please respect all closures until terrain is deemed safe to enter.Our de-ice crew are making solid progress: the Nor'west and Summit 6 and conveyors are on track for opening at 9am. The Triple chair should be ready to spin at around the time our Patrol team are completing terrain checks on the South Face - approx. 11:30am.We look forward to seeing you all very soon!
