Kia ora koutou
Hello everyone. While it's good news that Auckland has moved to level three, what we're really looking forward to is being able to get down to the mountain again! Fingers and toes crossed that we'll be moving to Level Two a few days into the School Holidays, on the 6th October!
Of course having the proposed change from Level 3 to Level 2 happen in the first week of the holidays will impact on people who are booked in for that week. We've been working hard to come up with some options so that if you are affected by this you'll still be able to get your week's skiing in.
If you're an Aucklander booked in for the first week of the School Holidays Ceana will ring you to re-organise your booking.
In the meantime, if you're in level 3 or 4 and have a booking before the School Holidays please cancel your booking yourself online. This makes it a lot easier for Ceana to ensure you get a full credit.
We still have spaces available in the Lodge and Chalet for the first week of the holidays, and space in the Chalet and Turoa for the second week.
There is a waitlist now in place for unpaid and new group bookings between 6 – 9 October at Turoa. For members who have booked but haven’t paid; if space becomes available, bookings will be accepted in order from the earliest date they were received.
With the holidays falling later in October this year our lower mountain buildings are a great choice. Turoa often has great snow later in the season, and at Whakapapa we understand from RAL that the Rangatira will close for the season after the first week of the holidays, assuming the Rockgarden remains skiable that long. Staying in the Chalet means you can drive to the door, and in the morning drive up to the Top of the Bruce, park and jump straight on the Gondola without having to first walk down the Rockgarden (and walk up it again at the end of the day!). And of course on days the slopes are closed there are hot pools to visit, tracks to explore and a whole range of activities in reach to entertain your family!
