The SnowDome is open from 9am – 11pm, 7 days a week, 364 days a year. Please be aware that in order to keep the snow in top condition the slope closes for snow grooming at various times throughout the day. Certain sessions such as tobogganing, tubing, ski only nights or freestyle nights may also restrict the availability of activities on the main slope. Please refer to the Recreational Timetable below.
To enhance SnowDome slope safety there is a minimum standard policy in operation, called the Recreational Standard. This standard is the ability to use all lifts, perform controlled linked turns, control speed and direction and stop confidently. If you are a competent skier or snowboarder and meet this standard you may use the slope unsupervised i.e. recreationally. If you have never skied or snowboarded before, or do not meet this standard, then ski or snowboard lessons must be taken in order to reach this level.
