Porters is open with all lifts spinning from 9am.

We are expecting another great day, with light winds this morning, warm temperatures and sun. There is a change in the weather coming this evening, and today will be the best day for a while to enjoy some fun spring like conditions.

At 5:45am, the temperature is 0 degrees . There is a light westerly breeze in the base area increasing slightly at upper elevations. Skies are clear. It’s going to be a day for plenty of sunblock and good times!

We have groomed Sundance, McNultys through to Stellar Bowl, Easy Street and the Beginners Area. There will be some good skiing and riding on trail today. Expect another day of surfy spring conditions, with snow softening in the sun this morning.

Chains are not required for our access road today. We recommend that all vehicles carry chains in winter, as conditions can change rapidly.

Our free shuttle service will be doing return trips throughout the day, picking up at Chain Bay 2 (and the lodge on request) at 9:30am and 10:30am. Return shuttles will be available all afternoon.

Porters Lodge Restaurant and Bar will be open for coffee from 10am, and meals from 11am.

Snowplay at the Lodge will be opening at 10am today. Chains are not required to access the Lodge and Snowplay.

Fischer skis NZ will be demoing the latest 2027 Fischer Noize Control skis this Friday.
Swing by and say hi to Enzo at the bottom of Easy Street.
