Snow Report Last Updated: Sun 29 Jun 16:10 PM

Fine. Little wind.

It’s 4pm and Mt Hutt is now closed for the day. Thank you to everyone who visited us today, if you didn’t make it up, here’s what you missed:

"At 3pm we have clear blue skies, light winds in the base area and 30km/h southerlies at the summit. 

Snow surface conditions have continued to improve with low overnight temps and all main trails and parks are set to go. We have a heap of off-piste terrain open again today including Towers, South Face and the Bluffs!"

 

Tomorrow’s weather forecast according to MetService.com is "Partly cloudy. Little wind."


Tomorrow morning, we will assess the current conditions, and we will update this report by 6am.

 

Monday Demos: The folks from Atomic are up here - feel free to pop across for a chat and try out their latest range of ski tech. We will also have DJ Caleb playing on our Opuke Kai deck!

Maps

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.
