About Us
We are a small, privately owned commercial ski area. During the season, we employ about 18 staff; we pride ourselves on our small, friendly team - with everyone able and keen to pitch in and help wherever and whenever needed.
We do not roster days off - when the mountain is open, everyone works. Days off occur when the mountain is closed due to snow/wind.
The nearest town is Fairlie, a very compact village that services the surrounding farm land. Check out our trail map.
