Snow comment:
Mōrena from Whakapapa!We're starting the day with wet, misty conditions across the maunga, bringing variable visibility.Expect soft snow conditions across the mountain today.Base area facilities open from 8am, with the Delta, Sky Waka gondola, and lower mountain lifts getting underway from 9am.Upper mountain lifts are currently on hold due to variable visibility. Conditions will be constantly monitored, with regular updates throughout the morning.There's plenty to enjoy Up Here! We look forward to welcoming you to Whakapapa today.
