What's happening today
The Aperol Ice Bar we will check the weather to see if we can open this. Come chill with us at the top of the Nor’West lift, where the vibes are high and the views are even higher! Kick back in a bean bag, sip something refreshing, and treat yourself to some seriously tasty bites. This is the coolest spot on the mountain perched high above it all with epic views, fresh alpine air, and an unbeatable atmosphere. It’s your ultimate mid-mountain hangout. See you up there!
Sightseeing
Our Summit 6 chair lift will open to sightseeing passengers from 2pm to 3pm. Call in to Guest Services on the mountain for more information. Our toboggan lane is also open - sleds are available to hire from our Rentals team.

Snow. Southwesterlies.
Â
Open
If you were here, thanks for joining us for first tracks this morning, we had an epic hour of riding from 8am-9am and we're now open to all pass holders.
We've received a sprinkling of snowfall this morning with some cloud sitting with us so do bring your low-light lenses for the morning! It's set to brighten into the afternoon - in perfect timing for Aperol Hour.
The best skiing and riding today will be found on the main trails. However, as traffic builds throughout the day, expect firmer conditions to develop in high-traffic areas.Â
It’s shaping up to be another fun day on the mountain so grab your mates, fill the car, and we’ll see you up here soon!
K2 is here with their latest ski tech - come and check it out!

Do You Know The Snow Code?

Limit your speed in busy areas. Match your speed to surrounding skiers and riders and be prepared for others to make sudden changes in direction or speed.

Stay 5m from others. If less than 5m from others you must slow down. The faster you go the more space you must give others.

Give way to those downhill. Look before you leap. Snowboarders: take care turning onto your heel edge.

Only stop where you can be seen from above. Always look uphill before moving again. Only stop on the edge of trails or beside fixed objects.

Backcountry
Please refer to our Ski Touring page and the New Zealand Mountain Safety Council's Backcountry page to read about how to stay safe when touring.

Terrain Closures
Any terrain closures will be indicated on the day on signage around the ski area. Please be respectful of all closures as these are in place for your safety. If you are not sure please ask one of our Ski Patrollers who are stationed around the unload areas of our lifts. Our lifts access certain terrain that suits different ability levels - to be sure you have the right lift pass to access the type of lift and terrain for your skiing/riding ability, please ask our Guest Services staff if you need assistance. When riding a lift always ensure the safety bar is lowered on your chair. If you are unsure about the lift, just ask the nearest Lift Operator to slow it down for you. All lifts operate between 9am-4pm daily, weather & snow conditions permitting.
