The Remarkables has had several dumps of fresh snow this week and due for a little more on Saturday night, the park has been re shaped this season and the medium line is running super smooth with nice, high knuckle, fun size, low consequence booters!

The forecast for Remarks this weekend looks like patchy cloud with a little snow on Saturday. There is a chance Sunday could be a good powder day with the potential for 15 cms of new snow, the sun might just be shining too!

If fresh snow is not your thing then maybe the terrain park which is running mint, or one of the many corduroy pistes or even a brewski in the Ice Bar up survey Basin.
