Information
Porters is open today. At 8:15 am we have patchy high cloud, light winds in the base area, stronger on the upper mountain. It is currently 4 degrees in the base area. After a night of wild weather, we groomed the lower mountain slopes at 7:30am. These are shaping up to be soft and fun today. Ungroomed areas are slick at the moment, we recommend sticking to groomed areas this morning, until off trail softens up a bit. Due to strong winds on the upper mountain, which are expected to continue all day, we will not be running the T-Bars today – operations will be Easy Street and below. If you’re looking for a lesson, pop into our ticket office and book a spot with one of our instructors – we have options for all ages and abilities. Kids 10 and under ski for free at Porters. Porters Lodge Restaurant and Bar, just 6km up our access road, will be open for coffee from 9am, and meals from 11am. Saturday Sessions are on at Porters Lodge today. DJ’s Romski & Sass will be playing tunes from 3pm-6pm. Our access road is chain free today, however during winter we advise all vehicles to carry chains. Our shuttle service will be running return trips throughout the day, picking up at Chain Bay 2 (and the lodge on request) at 8:45am, 9:30am, 10am, 10:30am and 11:00am. Return shuttles will be available all afternoon.
