Bruce Road: OPEN
DAILY REPORT
Last updated: 10:17am Sun 17th Aug
Morena and welcome to a freshly snow covered Whakapapa!!! After initial checks the snow on the upper mountain is amazing!
We have received a nice little Whakapapa northerly 5-10cm's of fresh snow up high overnight, 3-5cm's down low!! We expect this snow to continue throughout the day! Should the wind and visibility stay good it could be an epic day ahead.
The Happy Valley beginners area, the Rangatira, Sky Waka, the Delta, and the Valley T are all open.
