A pretty dreich day on the mountain with persistent rain showers and buffeting winds. There is still good skiing underfoot though even with some slopes thinning with the mild temperatures.
Tomorrow is looking much the same with 35-40mph winds in the morning with temperatures ranging between +2 and +5°c. The wind is forecast to ease in the afternoon with some patches of sunshine through the cloud.
If the winds stay as they are, it will likely be too windy for the Tubing Slides and Jumping Pillow.
Check back for updates from 8:15am.
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.
We have a special event taking place on Friday evening in the Ptarmigan Restaurant so there will be some changes to Funicular operations in the afternoon. Check our social media channels for further details.
