Road conditions
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. Sunstrike will be a hazard this morning - clean your windscreen inside and out before you set off to lessen the effect and drive with care. Please note there is heavy machinery working on our access road, so delays to opening are possible. We’re aiming to have the road open by 7:45am.

Snow Report

Last Updated: Fri 29 Aug 06:21 AM
A few showers. Northwesterlies.
After yesterday’s weather bomb, we’re still feeling the tail end of the storm. Winds are beginning to ease, but we’re still seeing the odd strong gust.
We will open with the Nor’West lift operating, while Summit remains on-hold due to high winds.
Today will be a challenging one with the weather. Skiing and riding will be limited to main trails only, as conditions off-trail are very firm. Please note that lifts will be subject to wind holds, and at times we may only have our carpets running.
Don't forget your helmet and goggles.
Drive safe and we look forward to seeing you all 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.
