Snow Report Last Updated: Fri 29 Aug 08:07 AM

We've had 15cms of snow so far, and it's still snowing!

Ata Mārie ngā hoa! (Good morning friends!)

The huka (snow) continued to fall overnight, leaving a fresh & new blanket for today's enjoyment. Ka rawe! (Awesome!)

Please be advised of wind drifted pockets of snow and unmarked hazards that exist in places. Take note of the whiteboard information at the top of the lift stations.

We are currently experiencing moderate wind gusts, wind may affect chairlift operations at times today. 

Nau mai hoki mai te hōtoke. (Welcome back winter!)

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.
