Reflecting after yesterday’s final day of the year, Nigel Kerr said the best start to a season since 2022 had been followed by a dry July, with regular snowfalls only starting to coat the mountain in the second week of August.
"Until then it was a challenge, and we had limited terrain."
However, as on-piste conditions improved, so did guest visitation.
"It hadn’t been bad, but it really picked up and it was a nice way to roll through to the end of the season."
Mr Kerr said visitor levels across the season had been "above average".
Yesterday was an emotional day for his 450 staff as they said their goodbyes before "heading off in different directions", including many to similar winter jobs in the northern hemisphere.
For him, the standout feature of the season had been his "really, really strong leadership team", which had responded well to everything thrown at them.
"It's been a year when we've worked together incredibly well and I'm not just saying this — it’s what others have told me."
Sister ski area The Remarkables is scheduled to close on October 12.
