The Valley T-Bar is so close to opening you can almost feel the first ride up, with final checks planned for tomorrow (if the weather plays nice!)

Our teams have made outstanding progress, with the Trails crew working through the night to establish the T-line, while our Maintenance and Ski Patrol teams complete the final inspections and safety checks before opening.

The remaining hurdle is the weather tomorrow. Current forecasts suggest winds may be a little too strong for a T-Bar. If they ease later in the morning as forecast, and surface conditions remain suitable, we'll take every opportunity to complete the remaining assessments and get the T-Bar spinning.

We know everyone is eager to see the Valley T-Bar open, and we wish we could be more definitive today. We'll have a clearer picture of conditions tomorrow morning, so check the report as always for all the latest updates. But if you're on the mountain, you might just be in for a great T-Bar surprise!

We're all frothing to welcome everyone back into the Valley as soon as we safely can.
