E-News 22nd September 2011
Just over a week left in the 2011 season as we head towards our closing date of Sunday October 2nd. There's a couple of events left yet (see below) so we hope you can make the most of the remaining days of the season and come up and visit us on the mountain - there's still plenty of snow and the spring conditions keep getting better and better. There's a chance of snow over the weekend so be sure to check the snow reports for the latest snow and weather conditions.
Last weekend we hosted the Undie 500 which was a great success - many thanks to ThermaTech for sponsoring this event. We also held Pirate day last Sunday with many visitors getting into the sprit of dressing up like a pirate. We are looking forward to running both these events again next year.
Coming up this weekend is the Gromfest (more info below) and Saturday night we are having a theme party at Snowline Lodge to celebrate Spring. "Glitz And Glamour" is the theme so get out your sparkly stuff and dress for dinner. Beds are available so book in now by calling the mountain on 03 318-8794 or Contact Us
