A lot happens before the lifts start spinning and the first turns of the day begin.

A massive shout-out to our Patrol team, who have been up since 4am carrying out avalanche control and putting in the hard mahi to make the mountain safe for everyone. These guys are often working behind the scenes long before the first skiers arrive, and definitely not always in conditions as stunning as these 👀

But what a morning they’ve had to work with today!

As Mike said in the Snow Report… it’s gonna be a pearler of a day! 👌 Come enjoy the last week of the 2026 season!

To celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, we’re sharing a little more about the name Ōhau and how to pronounce it.
You may have heard our name said a few different ways over the years, so here’s a little kōrero to help us all get it right.
Ōhau is pronounced Or-hoe, and the name means “place of wind” -a fitting name for our mountain home🌬️
We’re always learning, and we love sharing a little more about the place we’re lucky enough to call home.
