Regular Mt Hutt driver. Big 4WD with snow chains, big roof box. $30 p/p at the time of boarding.
Meet at 6:45 behind NPD Yaldhurst (Filly Place), there is plenty of parking for your car.
Returning at closing time or earlier if conditions deteriorate or everybody is ready to call it a day. If the weather report is concerning, I will contact the booking contacts either the night before or on the day of the trip, as soon as I am made aware of the concern, to discuss the available options.I’m currently looking for one person but can tightly squeeze two (three people on the back seat).

Information
Good morning! We are open today.Overnight winds have delayed our grooming, the Nor 'West is currently open and our cats have now completed grooming the Upper Mountain. We are assessing wind conditions to determine whether it is safe to operate the Summit and Triple Chairs, our goal is to have all three lifts spinning today!The forecast indicates winds should ease from late morning onwards. Overnight, we received approximately 2cm of new snow, followed by light rain, which has softened the snowpack.Please show consideration and respect to your fellow skiers and riders by observing the Snow Code: "Give Way" means matching your speed to surrounding skiers and riders in busier areas and being prepared for others to make sudden changes in direction or speed. Our Slope Safety team will be out today enforcing the Snow Code and will suspend lift access where necessary.We look forward to seeing you up here!
