Ski Area closed Thursday 5 February. Snow gates shut at Glenmore. Very strong winds but the temperature has risen slightly which will allow our ploughs and cutter to make progress on the road.
We kindly ask that no one parks in any mountain car parks overnight, especially during snow storms as this can impact our snow clearing operations. There is overnight parking available in Glenmore.
