Morning update 15 April.
The wind speeds are much less than was forecast today so we will be able to open for snowsports. At present the Funicular will operate with the M1 Poma, Polar Express, Ptarmigan, and Ciste T-Bar's expected to run as well.
Temperature is around +2 degrees at the Top Station with 20-30mph winds though there are some stronger gusts coming through. Light rain at all levels which is expected to continue throughout the day. Visibility poor above 900m in the cloud.
First train up at 9am. Further information on uplift and terrain coming shortly.
Snow Level: 700m
News from the Slopes
We are currently open for snowsports every day snow cover and weather permitting. Lift Passes can be booked online or purchased on the day from the Ticket Office.
During the Easter holiday period we will be opening for snowsports from 9am 7 days a week. There’s lots of family fun to be had across the resort with our Adventure Play Park now open daily (weather permitting) along with Tubing Slide sessions and the popular Wooden Ball Runs.
Due to reducing snow cover outside the Ski Area, Funicular Touring Pass sales are suspended. Further snowfall is expected which may improve conditions. Our team will continue to assess things over the weekend.
