With more than 3000 people through the new $30 million building in the past three days, Mr Edwards said the facilities - which include a new ski rental area, booking and ticket purchase counters, cafes, bar and outdoor eating terrace - had performed "very, very well".
About 2500 people enjoyed the new facilities during Sunday's open day, with the larger rental and ticketing area easily accommodating the crowd.
The new building used recycled concrete materials and tinted glass to reflect heat on to the cafe terrace area.
Inside, the heating was minimal because of the large glass area facing the sun and the heat-sink floors, Mr Edwards said.
The successful opening day on Sunday resulted in some congestion in the car parks but Mr Edwards said the two complimentary transit vans running between the car parks and the base building eased the problem.
Although he had fielded some criticism about the use of snow-making machines on Sunday which made skiing difficult, he said they were necessary to help build up the snow base while the weather was helpful.
While Sunday started with about 50cm base snow at the top of the field and 20cm at the base, that level had dropped to about 15cm yesterday. Mr Edwards said the planned car pooling was expected to be operating within the next two weeks.
"Rather than penalising people with just one person in a car, it's more of a reward for those who carry more than one person," he said.
