As promised we had stunning blue skies yesterday which brought lots of skiers up to the shelter and out on the trials for a surprisingly busy day. Its currently clear and crisp so given those lower temperatures overnight we have groomed the inner trails up to and including the 3.5km. On the sprint loop take care on the bridge on the side nearest the shelter which is flagged and exposed in places.
Skiers are reporting the 7.5km and 10Km although with breaks can still be skied but with caution given the water features and exposed rocks.
Snow is forecast today and lower night temperatures over the next few days we're hoping for a welcome spring surprise!
We have a very big collection of gloves, coats and beanies in the lost property area so have a check on your ski gear, make contact via email and we will do our best to reunite clothing and owners. If you prefer to text, send a message to John:0431816923.
