CLOSED FOR SEASON

Unfortunately we’ve called it done for the season. We have been patiently awaiting some new snow to get operations spinning again but this has not materialized so in fairness to everyone, especially the mountain crew, we’ve made the tough call to “shut it down”

A huge thanks to everyone who visited us and supported us during the season – it was a short one but an awesome one!

Have a great summer and we’ll see you back on the slopes during winter 2024!

PS. Don’t forget our base area lodge facilities, including the Daylodge & Snowline Lodge, are available for hire from now through the summer months. They are ideal for weddings, conferences, birthday parties, family reunions plus much more, book one or book them both depending on you requirements. Contact our Christchurch Office now for availability & Prices 

Weather Conditions

The Long hot days of summer are just around the corner so come and experience summer life by renting one or both of our base area Lodges.
