Ka hari te Rāmere katoa (Happy Friday everyone) from a freshly dusted Whakapapa.

We've picked up 2-3cms of fresh snow overnight at base and approximately 5cm up high, with a stormy night up on the upper mountain shaking things around. A solid refresh to kick off the day.

Looking ahead, Happy Valley, Rangatira, and the Sky Waka gondola are set to spin from 9am. Up top, the crew is tackling some de-icing and control work, with a projected 10am start for the Valley T-bar, Knoll Ridge T-bar, and Delta Quad. We're also on West Ridge Quad watch today, fingers crossed for the weather to clear and let us get out there.

Bruce Road is OPEN but restricted to 4WDs or 2WDs with chains. Please drive with care.

Trails are looking fresh, snow is in the air, and there's plenty of good times to be had see you out there!
