Information
Good morning. We’re open today, with first tracks available from 8:00am to 9:00am.Today will be a game of two halves. The first half of the morning will be all about enjoying the fresh corduroy on our main trails. Around midday, we’ll see the weather deteriorate, with snowfall setting in for the second half of the day.The great news is that snow is forecast to continue for around 24 hours from lunchtime today.Don’t forget to bring extra layers and your low-light lenses, as you’ll likely need to switch your goggles over once the snow arrives.We look forward to seeing you all very soon!
