Snow conditions are moderate to good with a fresh cover of snow. The North Westerly snow faired better on the front slopes and with more snowfalls tonight, conditions will be fresh in the morning for those coming up to have a ski or snowboard.
Parks and Wildlife worked with road contractors Gradco today to clear snow from Jacob’s ladder, the plateau and car park in preparation for the weekend.
Lift crews worked hard through the day deicing to ensure all the front lifts were operating this afternoon including the Summit lift which takes snow goers near the top of Legges Tor, the states second highest peak.
Its been confirmed that subject to weather conditions Alpine enterprises will be operating 3 lifts tomorrow and working on deicing a 4th on the back slopes in the morning.
