It has been a stormy week so far, with strong winds resulting in a couple of closed days. Whilst frustrating, snow doesn’t come without a storm, and we’re eagerly awaiting a change in the gradients and temperatures that are forecast to bring snow in the coming days.

Mountain Update

We received 10cm of fresh snow on Wednesday and there is more snow forecast, with a Southerly change in the coming days.
Currently we have limited terrain on offer, with the beginner carpet, intermediate platter, and T-1 up to tower 7 running. Conditions are perfect for those new to snow-sports, or for those looking for some cruisy runs perfecting your skills. Half-day lift rates apply until all lifts open.

Introduce a family to Snow-sports
The Porters family is a large one, and we like to think that Porters is a welcoming place for any family wanting to experience some enjoyment on the snow. This is why we created the ‘Family learn-to-slide’ beginner ski or snowboard package. Just like our individual packages, our family package offers a discounted rate on lift access, equipment hire, and lessons, packaged up at a $190 for the whole family. This deal is good for the entire immediate family, so the price is the same if you have more than 2 youths. You can also add an afternoon lesson for just an extra $20 per person – what a deal! Check it out here for full info and details, and pass it on to a novice snow family today!
