Snow Report Last Updated: Sat 09 Aug 10:42 AM

Winter has returned with 6cm of new cold snow on top of yesterdays storm!

This mornings weather system is expected to clear by lunch time. Expect an epic day of riding out there! 

Groomers are silky with some great off piste skiing and riding also. Remember that it is thin coverage below the new snow so ski and ride with caution. Wrap up warm and low light lenses will be key for low visibility first thing.

Reminder to all season pass holders - if you don't have a current photo on your profile, please upload one or head to Guest Services before heading to the chairlifts.

Getting Up The Mountain

We know you're all keen to hit the slopes this year so we've got some updates to make it easier for you to get up the mountain.

Maps

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 Advisory

If you decide to go skiing or snowboarding in the backcountry, you need to carry the right safety equipment. Avalanches happen for a reason, so it’s important to choose your terrain wisely. You are welcome to go and see Ski Patrol to get an up to date report on current conditions. Please be aware that our Ski Patrol do not patrol these areas and only venture here in the case of a known emergency. Our Ski Patrol does not manage intentions but please visit the Mountain Safety website for details on requirements to ensure a safe backcountry adventure.

Touring and Backcountry access at The Remarkables.

Alta Turquoise to Alta Lake is the designated safe ski touring route and is the only permitted ski touring route while ski patrol is conducting avalanche control work. Ski touring within the ski area boundary is dangerous and can result in serious injury so please respect all signage and closures. View our Ski Touring information.
