Snow Report Last Updated: Sat 11 Jul 11:55 AM

A beautiful afternoon at the Remarkables!

Another stunning day forecast here at Kawarau Maunga The Remarkables. 

The off piste skiing has some fun areas of good snow, however it still very thin. Ski/ride within your ability and take it easy. As we continue to open terrain, early season conditions may result in some runs being more challenging than indicated on the trail map. Updated run rating signs and any relevant hazard or conditions information will be clearly displayed at the entrance to the affected runs.

Due to high school holiday demand we currently have limited stock of some rental equipment. Men's snowboarding is particularly low with some boots and board sizes out of stock. NB we also recommend allowing extra time for rental collection before lessons at this time.

Remember that you must have a current photo on your MyPass - upload online or pop into Guest Services before you head to the lifts.
Exciting news! We've opened even more terrain today on the Sugar Chair, with Serpentine and Nakahi now open for skiing and riding. Both runs will be operating as black trails today, making them suitable for advanced riders only. Please note it is still early season conditions and hazards do exist.

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.
