More Guns Blazing!
Yesterday was a ripper and it was great to see the Summit Quad get up and running again.
At 6am the Village is in a light fog that may burn off as the day progresses. The current temp is a chilly -3.7 and we're headed for a top of 1 degree. The wind is moderate out of the SE which is expected to ease further also.
With favourable overnight conditions the snowmakers had another really solid run and they're still pumping it out now topping up the cover. Summit Quad, Big D and the carpets are ready to roll again on a surface that feels great underfoot with a touch of machine made snow on top.
The theme for the next few days will be snowmaking with our team making the most of every opportunity to build on the cover which will hopefully bring more terrain options into play soon.
Have a great day out there. Cheers Burner.

Backcountry Conditions
Insufficient snow for the backcountry at this stage.
.No grooming of XC trails at present, however if you ski with care especially on downhill sections.you will have a very pleasant experience. Take your classics. When we start grooming you will be the first to know!!!!
Issued: Sun 5 July, 06:24AM
Our groomers are anxiously waiting for there to be enough snow depth and the right conditions for grooming to commence. Keep up the snow dances and fingers x'd for more of the white stuff.
Groomer Neil did a cheeky run through with the snow mobile on Saturday afternoon, village to Whiskey Flat . Not grooming as such, still pretty rough, but will be a bit of a pack down. So I do stress that care is needed as conditions are very variable.
cheers Bev.
