According to Whakapapa’s social media, they are planning a limited opening for winter on May 30. Snowmaking will begin as soon as temperatures drop low enough, with a focus on building snow in Happy Valley.
Season passes go on sale this month.
It’s that time of year again – the time when you start to remember where you put your ski gear from last season. Is it still in good condition? And how do I explain to my partner that I might need new gear this year? It’s part of the rhythm of winter – the mountains are calling again.
