Snow comment:
8 July Update:
We received around 10cm of new snow last Thursday (3 July) which is a positive start to rebuilding our snowpack again. Unfortunately its just not enough to get the ball rolling as of yet.
The weather is a bit patchy through the next few days however there are signs of further weather systems so at this stage we are going to sit tight, let these play out and hopefully then be in a good position to get the bullwheels spinning.
If you are booked into Snowline Lodge this week for Holiday 2 ski week or this coming weekend we will be in touch with you about options moving forward. If you’ve not heard from us, please reach out so we can make contact.
We are gutted to not be able to open as of yet, but we will make it happen as soon as we are in a position to do so – stayed tuned for future updates and keep the positive snow thoughts flowing!
