No real change in snow cover. Lower Snowbadgers Beginners Area set up and in good condition with snowmaking continuing daily.
Snow Level: 800m
News from the Slopes
Great to see skiers and snowboarders out for a slide on the Beginners Area with our partner snowsports schools operating as well.
Floodlit snowsports are confirmed for today from 3:30pm – 5pm thanks to the team at Campbell Plant Hire. Limited spaces are available as we only have the lower Snowbadger Magic Carpet operating.
Season Pass holders can drop in for a slide any time, there’s no need to book. We will also have some fun features out to have a play on.
Conditions will be assessed daily so make sure and check when future floodlit sessions will be running.
