Snow Report
4.3°c
Last Updated: Sun 14 Sep 12:13 PM
Partly cloudy with moderate to strong westerlies
Its looking like a mainly fine day at The Peak with some great riding on and off trail!
Strong westerlies overnight have continued to push snow around. Expect firm conditions in exposed areas, and some great wind loaded pockets in the lee slopes.
Cold temperatures are keeping the snow in great shape, but dress up warm as winds are set to persist throughout the day.

Ski Touring Access
Coronet Peak is a 24 hour, seven days per week operation with multiple natural and operational hazards. Ski touring within the ski area boundary is dangerous and can result in serious injury so please respect all closures.
With our current snow conditions, ski touring will be permitted from Greengates base via Greengates run (through Snake pit) between the hours of 6am to 9am and 4:30pm-6pm excluding Wednesday and Fridays as terrain will be open for night skiing. This will be valid until conditions allow access via Sara Sue.
Ski touring is NOT PERMITTED between 6PM & 6AM. All areas of the mountain are winch groomed on a daily basis with activity concentrated around the M1.
During our normal winter operational season, Sarah Sue, the western most run on the mountain, is the ONLY designated uphill route - ski touring on any other runs will be restricted.
Getting up the mountain this season:
We know you're all keen to hit the slopes this year so we've got some updates to make it easier for you to get up the mountain. Please find these through the below link.
Learn More
Limit your speed in busy areas. Match your speed to surrounding skiers and riders. Be prepared for others to make sudden changes in direction or speed.
Stay 5m from others. If less than 5m from others you must slow down. The faster you go the more space you must give others.
Give way to those downhill. Look before you leap. Snowboarders: take care turning onto your heel edge.
Only stop where you can be seen from above. Always look uphill before moving again. Only stop on the edge of trails or beside fixed objects.
Backcountry Terrain
The Back Bowls are steep Expert Terrain. As such they have an increase in hazard, including avalanche. The Back Bowls may be closed due to Avalanche Hazard Mitigation or inclement weather as these conditions heighten risk in this terrain. Back Bowls are closed at night and assessed for opening daily.
Backcountry Advisory
If you decide to go skiing or snowboarding in the backcountry you need to carry the right safety equipment. Avalanches happen, so it’s important to choose your terrain wisely. Coronet Peak Back Bowls is managed carefully by Coronet Peak Patrol. When the Back Bowls sign indicates the terrain is "open" you may proceed with caution into this area. Out on the far col you will see a red and an orange Ski Area Boundary Sign on the rock which indicates the limits of Coronet Peak ski area and the back-bowls. If you venture past this sign the terrain is highly hazardous, prone to avalanches with cliffs and ice.
Let People Know Before You Go
It is good practice to provide a contact person with details of your backcountry trip. You can also pop into our Ski Patrol office at any time during opening hours to check on local conditions and advise patrol of your intentions. Please be aware that our Ski Patrol do not patrol outside the Ski Area Boundary and only venture here in the case of a known emergency. You need to be well prepared and self-sufficient with all the necessary safety equipment and the knowledge to use it.
Please visit the Mountain Safety website for details on what is required to ensure a safe backcountry adventure.
