This is just the beginning. Keep an eye on our daily report page and live feed for up-to-date info, on-mountain updates and any surprise specials as the season rolls on!

Saturday night, we’re hosting our Stargazing session, and on Sunday, we’ll be bringing the vibes with our first Maunga Music session from @willpriormusic.

The weather’s doing a bit of everything this weekend. Expect cloud and strong westerlies, with a hint of snow possibly landing up high. It’s shaping up to be a classic early-season mix, so if you’re planning a trip, wrap up warm and check the latest before you head up to Whakapapa (report in bio).

See a visual of our mountain lifts and trails at whakapapa.com/winter and stay in the loop with updates all season at whakapapa.com/report. Time to get those snow dances going!

We’ve shared our projected lift dates so you can start planning — we’re aiming for the lower mountain to open from late June, top-to-bottom skiing from early July and the Far West from early August. All dates are condition-dependent and may shift if the snow rolls in earlier or later than expected.
