Our summer of mountain biking and Good Times has come to a close and we're now getting the Peak ready for winter 2026.
New for 2026: thanks to our brand new Snow Factory, we’re opening earlier than ever from 29 May, with snow on the ground even when winter’s still finding its rhythm.
29 May–12 June: Early Winter operations (10am–3pm)
From 13 June: Full mountain opens as usual (9am–4pm)
Road Comment: Our road is in an alpine environment which can change quickly. Drivers should carry chains and know how and when to fit them, and when to turn back. Following is a chain-fitting video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9rKZ_86A4I&t=1s

The temps are dropping and winter is fast approaching. Make sure you've got your lift passes sorted for another epic winter at Remarks! We open 13 June.
The road is open, the $15 tollgate is operating, and visitors are welcome.
The base area is a construction site - please follow the fenced pedestrian area between Carpark 1 and the ski area.
Please note that until we open for winter operations the ski area is the backcountry. Natural and man-made hazards exist and are unmarked and unprotected. The road is not managed as in winter. There are no rescue or support services on the ski area or the road, in case of emergency dial 111.
