Whoah! Very good morning!


How do you like the sound of 50-70cm of new snow this morning? Yep, thought so! A whopping amount of new snow to enjoy out there this morning as Santa brings us a very nice present. The snow started properly later on in the day yesterday and really came down overnight.


The resort is trying to get their powder tree runs open this morning - Powder Wave I and Usagi look set to be open. It should be a very powdery morning on all the courses though. There may be delays with the lifts though as they cope with the snow (a good problem to have).


More snow due tomorrow and Wednesday.


Lifts planned to be operating:

Number 1

Number 2

Super quad

Number 5

Number 11

Number 12

Number 15

Kids Park
