Snow Report Last Updated: Sun 13 Jul 16:40 PM

Welcome to the last day of the NZ school holidays!

This period of unsettled weather continues. We have light to moderate winds, partly cloudy skies and mild temps. The forecast is for the wind to pick up (which could affect chairlift operations later) and some precipitation into the afternoon - which will hopefully be snow.

The road is chain-free but with snow forecast all vehicles must carry chains. 

Come up and get some last runs before heading back to school and work!

Road conditions

The road is chain free, but with snow in the forecast all vehicles must carry chains. Exiting our road is left turn only - use the roundabout 1km down the road to turn back to Frankton and Queenstown.

Non Skiing Activity

Our Snowplay area is beside the Sugar Bowl chairlift. Come along and bring the kids for some family fun on the snow, but please remain within the designated area for the safety of yourself and others.

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.
