Skiing at the Durrand Glacier area is incredible. Though, the snowpack is below average, we do have a deep snowpack, giving us a guaranteed blanket of snow to enjoy fun and safe powder skiing. 250 cm at the Durrand Glacier Chalet, how much more we need? The snow shovelling team is busy moving snow we have received during the past days and the skiers enjoy deep powder turns and faceshots.
