Great to see skiers and snowboarders out for a slide on the Beginners Area with our partner snowsports schools operating as well. Floodlit snowsports are confirmed for today from 3:30pm - 5pm thanks to the team at Campbell Plant Hire. Limited spaces are available as we only have the lower Snowbadger Magic Carpet operating. Season Pass holders can drop in for a slide any time, there's no need to book. We will also have some fun features out to have a play on. Conditions will be assessed daily so make sure and check when future floodlit sessions will be running.
