Fine with light winds.

Kia ora people, it’s a pearler up here today!

Blue skies, fresh cord, and good vibes waiting at the top. A warm welcome to all the whānau joining us this weekend, the mountain is looking mighty fine.

Our grooming crew have been out doing what they do best, laying down silky corduroy across the slopes. There’s something for everyone out there today.

Road conditions

Take it slow from Chain Bay 2 upward — valley cloud has left a slick layer on the access road. 2WD drivers, hold tight till 7am and give our roads crew time to work their magic with the grit and brushes. There is a lot of new traffic on the road so driving slow and being patient will go a long way. Your adventure starts with the journey, make it a safe one!

What's happening today

There couldn't be a better day to take your parents skiing or boarding. Just a reminder that if you want to picnic all day, that's what the tables on our large sunny deck are all about. The tables inside are for diners and coffee drinkers.

Sightseeing

Take the gondola up to see the incredible 360° view of the Southern Alps. Our Sledding lane is open from 10:30am with a Crepe stand! Sledding and Gondola are the perfect family fun activity.

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.

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. 

Now that we are spreading out to full width ski touring between the hours of 6:00am until 6:00pm will be permitted at Sarah Sue only.

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.

Maps

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.
