2017 Resort Entry Season Pass deal closes 16 December

Resort Management has announced that there will be no Early Bird resort entry season pass in 2017. Instead they are offering a 2017 pass at the same price as 2016 if you pay your deposit by 16 December. That's $99 in December and $196 by 31 March.

They are saying that there will be no other discounted resort entry season passes (except for over 65s). There are no hints about what the 2017 price will be.

Hero Pass deadline extended to Monday

Apparently they had some technical problems with the online store so the lift company has extended the deadline for Hero Passes to Monday 17 October. (I haven't seen a time, but probably safe to assume 5pm as it was for the original deadline).

Only $99 now and $650 in April ($49 + $380 for kids and seniors).

Spa renovation begins

The spa area has been crying out for some love (and money). As the debt for the lodge renovation dwindles, the committee has decided that we can now afford to give the spa area a light and bright makeover.

• The dark (and slippery) slate will be replaced with lighter tiles with a high non-slip rating.
• The spa will be re-tiled in light blue tiles.
• New cedar paneling will be installed, with some feature sections with rock effects.
• The old shower area will become a new toilet stall.
• The old toilet stall will become an open shower.

A hardy crew braved the landslides and floods on the weekend after season close to begin the project by stripping out the old materials.
