Captain’s has joined the party 🙌
We’ve rolled from one storm into another and we’re here for it ❄️
Snow has been falling all day and we’ve opened up the Valley View lift, terrain and carpark 🎉
🚗 Park there and save half the drive - just make sure you’ve got your gear and passes sorted, and are comfortable skiing or riding intermediate terrain.
Little Meg is open down at Valley View too, serving hot coffees, snacks, and ice-cold tap beers 🍻

It’s been a big few days up here! Great to see so many of you up here enjoying the recent snow ❄️
The team are working hard behind the scenes to get more terrain and lifts open now that the weekend’s storm has passed. Watch this space 👀
📣 If you’re planning a visit over the coming days, make sure you book ahead and check out our snow report on our website, as parking, day pass and rental availability may be limited during peak periods, especially while we have limited terrain and lifts open.

Mōrena ❄️
25cm of fresh snow in the last 24hrs!
We are expecting snow showers and Southeast winds easing across the day with the freezing level rising- It will be cold so please wrap up warm!

❄️ There’s a storm upon us... It starts off a little warm, but the snow’s arrived. Here’s how to make the most of a storm day

🌨️ Check the snow report before you leave the house so you know what the play is with the road, weather and terrain
⛓️🛻 Pack your chains, know how to fit them. Or skip the drama and jump the free shuttle from the bottom of the road. First in, first served.
🧤 It’s a game of layers. And a low light lens for the goggles, non-negotiable. Our mates at will sort you out if you’re missing anything.
☕ Take breaks. A hot chocolate at the Lounge, or ramen at Noodle Bar is a great way to warm up
🎒pack spares if you can. Dry socks and gloves can be the difference between a great day or a miserable one
💧Make sure all of your outerwear is waterproof, leave the jeans at home 🏠
They say there’s no friends on a powder day. Whoever came up with that clearly hasn’t shared a chair with their mates when it’s dumping!
🎿 ride within your limits - low vis + variable conditions can be tricky to navigate - keep yourself and those around you safe :)
What sound does the rail make? 👂🔉
We asked some of the crew riding McPark what they think..💭
