It has been widely hoped that the transition to warmer weather during the Northern Hemisphere months will either slow or stop the spread of COVID-19 in the Northern Hemisphere. In addition to influenza, many other widely-occurring viruses exhibit some degree of seasonality, though not all peak at the same time of the year as influenza. The reasons for this are not wholly understood but are believed to involve a combination of both physical factors affecting the durability of the virus and social factors relating to humans clustering indoors during cold weather. Incidence of the flu increases during the cold season, with a northern hemisphere peak typically during December to February. It is widely recognized that influenza, i.e. ![]() The following brief report provides the justification for that conclusion. Warm, sunny weather may have some limited impact on the rate of spread, but in the absence of strong interventions, the pandemic is likely to continue spreading through the summer months in most parts of the world. It is our conclusion that warming weather is unlikely to stop the spread of the pandemic. More recently, COVID-19 has also established itself in warmer conditions. The most significant early spread occurred in countries with relatively cool temperatures, though this may have been a coincidence. Berkeley Earth has conducted a brief review of how the virus has been spreading in comparison to the weather conditions across various locations during the previous months. All lifts operate between 9am-4pm daily, weather & snow conditions permitting.Considerable attention has been paid to whether or not changes in the weather may stop the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. If you are unsure about the lift, just ask the nearest Lift Operator to slow it down for you. When riding a lift always ensure the safety bar is lowered on your chair. Our lifts access certain terrain that suits different ability levels - to be sure you have the right lift pass to access the type of lift and terrain for your skiing/riding ability, please ask our Guest Services staff if you need assistance. If you are not sure please ask one of our Ski Patrollers who are stationed around the unload areas of our lifts. Please be respectful of all closures as these are in place for your safety. Trail ClosuresĪny terrain closures will be indicated on the day on signage around the ski area. Please refer to our Ski Touring page and the New Zealand Mountain Safety Council's Backcountry page to read about how to stay safe when touring.
