First Snow for 2012

Big dump of beautiful snow has arrived at Hanmer Springs Ski Area and we are looking to open on 30 June just in time for the school holidays. Staff will be soon up the mountain to sort out everything before opening day. Here are a few photos of Hanmer Springs Ski Area, taken over the weekend.

Beginners tow up & running

After alot of hard work, the brand new beginners tow (fixed grip) at Hanmer Springs Ski Area is up and running and ready for the new ski season. This fantastic facility will be a real asset for the ski field for many years to come and hopefully alot of young locals will learn to ski and snowboard at our charming field!

Beginners tow gets installed

Bad weather did not stop our merry bunch of working bee volunteers from getting the brand new beginners tow installed at Hanmer Springs Ski Area. A mighty effort in trying conditions, this tow will provide many years of enjoyment to learners young and old!

New viewing deck at Hanmer Springs Ski Area

Work has started on our much anticipated brand new viewing deck for Hanmer Springs Ski Area.

This structure will give our club members comfort and style to watch fellow skiers and boarders from the sunny vista we fortunately have at our lodgings.
Working bees are continuing through most of the weekends (on various other jobs), if you can help please contact one of the committee members.

Beginners tow being installed now

Working Bees are going on currently and over the next few weeks to get the brand new beginners fixed grip tow installed for this season at Hanmer Springs Ski Area. Any extra help volunteered is grateful and members get a free days ski pass for each day you help out. Attached photos show the hard yards have been done in digging the holes!

Here are some aerial photos taken from our eye in the sky today!
Shows a base of about 25cm even cover over the field - we do not yet have enough snow to open - so lets cross our fingers and prey to the snow gods to gift us some more precious white. Opening of field has been delayed - we will notify everyone as soon as we know a definite date.

2010 season was a ripper

I had a great time up the ski field last season (2010) and here are some photos to prove it! some excellent powder days I will never forget.
