Winter has officially arrived, and Mount Cain is finally blanketed in fresh snow. Nearly 30 centimetres of cold, dry powder has fallen, transforming the hill into a winter wonderland.
While the snowfall is promising, it’s not yet enough for a safe opening. Earlier this week, bare ground stretched almost to the summit, and as a result, the planned opening on Saturday, December 20 has been postponed.
There’s still reason for optimism: forecasts call for continued snowfall over the next 24 hours. If conditions improve, Mount Cain could open on Sunday, December 21 for a short three‑day run leading into the Christmas break. Updates will be shared tomorrow via social media and email, so stay tuned.
Looking ahead to opening day, here are a few reminders:
- Kids ski free all season: Children 12 and under can pick up a free pass at the ticket booth. Passes must be visible while skiing.
- Seasonal child passes: Available for just $5 to cover printing costs, giving kids unlimited access all season.
- Cash‑free convenience: Season passes can be loaded with funds and used at the ski shop and Cain Café. No need to carry cash or phones—just top up at the ticket booth whenever your balance runs low.
With fresh snow on the slopes and more in the forecast, Mount Cain is gearing up for a festive start to the season.
