“Ka mahi te tawa uho ki te riri”
“Well done, you whose courage is like the heart of a tawa tree”
- Whakatauki / Māori proverb
9 days closed
376 hours of grooming
1053 km travelled
510 hectares ground covered
And the result? Tomorrow, the team at Tūroa will open the High Noon Express.
We said we needed 20-30cm - we haven’t had that. But our groomers and snowmakers have made the impossible, possible, pushing snow from everywhere and anywhere, and firing up the snow guns as soon as temperatures cooled.
We expect to see the High Noon open in the morning. The team are aiming for 10am, although acknowledge there is a lot to do in setup, so please bear with them, and keep an eye on the report for latest.
Access is via the Movenpick, with access to Little Bowl, Snowbird, and Upper Freeway. The Alpine Café and Giant Café will also open.
