Welcome to Porters 2010!

After a fantastic snow year in 2009, we are gearing up for the 2010 season, which promises to be a cracker if we follow the Northern Hemisphere patterns.

2010 at Porters is our year for the family. A $995 Early Bird ULTIMATE Family season pass means that 2 adults pay the early bird rate and the 2 children under 18 get their pass for free. Additional children are only an extra $100 each.

What a deal…. It’s so hot…. Let’s hope it does not melt all the snow! Get in quick, this deal expires at the end of April 2010.

There are many more fantastic family deals this year, check them out now...

During the summer, we've increased our snow-making capacity, bought new rental equipment, installed extra boot drying facilities, widened trails, built more wind fencing and implemented an extensive maintenance programme.

Behind the scenes, a lot of time and effort continues on our Master Development Plan, focusing on gaining consents and approvals for lift and facility expansion at Porters. Find out more about the Porters Project here.

It’s a very exciting time and winter is not too far away. In the meantime, enjoy watching the coverage of the Winter Olympics, doesn’t it make you yearn for fresh powder and that first click of a new season as your bindings lock into your boots?

Take advantage of our great Early Bird Season Pass rates before the end of April. Get more info here - passes on sale from 15th March 2010.

Our lifts open daily from 9am to 4pm - our anticipated opening date is FRIDAY 25TH JUNE 2010.

We can’t wait to see you here this winter. We’re confident you’ll have a great time at Porters.
