    Understanding the Snow Report

    Snow Measurements

    Snow depth at Ohau is tracked at both the base and summit, since the two elevations often see different totals — roughly a 400m difference here. We report fresh snowfall over the last 24 hours and 7 days alongside the running season total, in both metric and imperial units.

    Weather Conditions

    Current weather conditions affect snow quality. Cold temperatures with low wind typically preserve snow quality, while warm temperatures or rain can impact conditions negatively — something worth watching closely at Ohau's 1425m base elevation, where temperatures run milder than the summit.

    Data Sources

    Snowfall and depth figures for Ohau come from official mountain sources; weather and outlook data comes from independent forecasting services. The mountain is served by 2 lifts in total.

    When to Check

    Snow reports are typically updated early morning and late afternoon. For the most current conditions, check back regularly, especially if a winter storm is approaching. With Ohau's season running from June 20, 2026 to Sept 27, 2026, checking daily during a storm cycle gives you the clearest read on new snow.
