Snow Report Last Updated: Fri 04 Oct 12:06 PM

Cloud increasing, with rain developing around midday, heavy at times.

 

Well that's 2024 signing out.

What a season, nights, early mornings, entertainment and some great pow to finish as we extended by a week.

Thank you for coming on the 2024 journey with us, wishing you all the best for the summer ahead and see you 14th June 2025.

 

Attention Ski Tourers! 

Coronet Peak is no longer patrolled and avalanche control work has ceased.

Coronet Peak is a DOC recreation reserve and should be treated as backcountry terrain.

We received a significant amount of snow on the top half of the mountain on 3/10/24, the snowpack has become saturated with warm temperatures and rain on 4/10/24 - There is currently a risk of large loose wet / wet slab avalanches occurring in steep terrain. Please treat Coronet Peak as backcountry terrain. This means paying attention to the avalanche advisory for Queenstown - Skiing with a buddy and carrying a Transceiver, Shovel and Probe.

You can find the advisory at - https://www.avalanche.net.nz/region/10 

 

Be safe out there and we will see you back for another epic season in 2025!

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.
