Winter’s almost here – fresh snow + snowmaking tests!

Posted: Thursday 7 May 2026

Opening weekend is officially one month away and winter is already making itself known. 

We’ve been treated to an early season dusting, with some light snowfall throughout the village and slopes. There’s nothing quite like fresh snow to get the stoke levels rising.  

This morning, temps dropped as low as -5 degrees, creating ideal conditions for our TechnoAlpin snow guns to fire up for pre-season testing. It’s an exciting milestone, giving our team the chance to fine tune systems and get everything dialled in ahead of the season. It’s a strong signal that winter conditions are starting to line up, and our snowmaking team is ready to go when the time comes.  

The village is starting to shift into winter mode, venues prepping, lifts getting their final touches, and that unmistakable energy building as we get ready to welcome you back.
