Snow Report Last Updated: Mon 12 May 15:05 PM

Cloudy about the Divide, with showers until evening. Fine elsewhere.

Great news! Whist the wild nor'wester over the past couple of days has melted out a fair chunk of our recent snow, we are still enjoying a very respectable base on the main trails.

And thanks to the flexibility of our amazing seasonal crew we can safely move our scheduled start date forward a couple of weeks.

Subject to snow and weather conditions, we plan to open for weekend skiing and riding from 31st May (including King's Birthday public holiday on Monday 2nd June) and then open 7 days a week from Saturday 14th June.

So get ready for our first May opening in 16 years - and keep your fingers-crossed for a couple more natural top-ups or some colder temps so we can crank up the snow guns! 

See you very soon!

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.
