News Flash - 20 cms of new snow over the past 2 days and we are now fully OPEN for the 2010 season!
With 12 cms falling on Tuesday night and a further 8cms on Wednesday the slopes are looking great and the skiing is awesome. There is a chance of further snow tonight and tomorrow morning with the weather clearing on Saturday morning so why not escape the overcast & dull Christchurch weather and come on up and hit the snow with us?
New Snow 21st July
This week we have hosted students from St Margarets College on their Ski annual Week. Students arrived on the mountain on Tuesday and the snow then started falling shortly after their arrival so they have been skiing solidly every day and enjoying lessons with our Swiss instructors. The premium August weeks are approaching quickly and with all the new snow we suggest you get your booking in to secure a place as some weeks are already full with others filling up fast.
St Margarets students on ski lessons 22nd July
Next weeks Ski week kicks off on Sunday 25th July and has been named “Fine Wine Week” (Formerly Adult Week). I’m told there will a be games night, quiz night, beanie challenges and even some whisky tasting – may be we should call it Fine Wine And Whisky Week! We still have spaces available so for a fun over 18’s ski week book in now!
