Our experienced tow manager and lead ski patroller have just updated that we have lost too much snow in important parts of the tow run and even with the predicted snow would not be safe to operate.

It looks like late ski seasons are becoming the norm in Southern Tasmania. Whilst the weather was pretty wild today (Saturday) a lot of skiers and boarders were up at Mt Mawson enjoying fresh snow on the jeep trail (out of the wind!) and on the lower slopes of the skifield. Volunteers from the […]
