- Funicular: Expected
Last updated 06/01/2026 15:26pm
With the natural snowfall, the Beginners Areas are in great condition and there is some excellent skiing underfoot on the pisted areas of the upper mountain. Lots of drifting snow across the top of the mountain which should improve conditions.
Snow Level: 400m
News from the Slopes
We are closing early today due to deteriorating conditions.
The forecast is looking better tomorrow afternoon, we will provide an update as soon as possible in the morning once our operations team have cleared any snow from the access road and car park.
There may be delays but hopefully some good skiing and snowboarding once we get open and over the coming days.
Weather
Current Weather:

Forecast Weather:
