Hi all. We are going to go for round two on the info night. UPDATED DATE - 27/June at memorial hall at 6pm.

If you plan on using the ski areas to go uphill skinning inbounds or to access the backcountry there will be important info as well as some overview of popular backcountry zones.

Spot prizes to be had also!!

Massive apologies to those who missed the postponement message last time and showed up. We did our best to spread the word while we were battling the storm up remarks.

Hope to see you there!

Hey Team, with the access road open it’s a good chance to remind everyone that our ski area is still uncontrolled and should be treated as back country terrain until we are open. There has been a lot of snow and a similar amount of wind from multiple directions creating a wind slab hazard that should be treated with caution. If you’re travelling through the ski resort during the hours of darkness a head torch and high vis is a must. The groomers are working 24/7 and struggle to see ski tourers/climbers. For any info or advice on snow conditions or safe travel routes the patrol door is always open. Come say hi and check the latest snow pack data, weather and avalanche advisory on our info board.

Hey everyone, the snow has well and truely arrived up here and the patrol team is back up the hill training. We want to remind you all that the ski field should be treated as the back country from now until we are open and operational. A lot of you will be up here recreating so be aware of the avalanche hazard. Remember if there’s enough snow to ski, there’s enough for an avalanche. Don’t forget your beacon, probe, shovel and rock skis. Enjoy it, we’ll see you out there soon! There is a high likelihood of the road being closed throughout the storm so it’s key the public respect those closures. Cheers team.

Hi all. Locals have no doubt noticed Shadow has been closed for some time. The reason for this is because we have a high degree of concern about the remaining snowfields above the cat track. Glide Slab avalanches are when the entire snowpack let’s go at once and can occur when we have a saturated snowpack and in particular when the ground is steep tussock. This is our current situation as we have not had any overnight freezes for almost a week. This is an anomaly for us. They are extremely unpredictable and explosives are ineffective. We are trying to be patient and need to wait for significantly colder temperatures to persist. We hope this answers questions and are happy to talk more about it if you see us up the hill.

Hi guys, level 4!! We know the skiing is really good. Just to warn people, the road will be closed and there will be no avalanche control.

Not that any one here would do such a thing…

Some snow in the forecast tonight! Due to the warm temps recently we have got some very firm conditions across the hill, which the new snow will have a hard time sticking too.

In the interest of keeping the snow on the surface we are planning on keeping the chutes closed for the day. This will give the new snow a greater chance of sticking!

Appreciate peoples patience.
