Roundhill has opened with the beginners area and T1 to just below Tower 5. More terrain is expected to open as the mountain receives more natural snow and conditions continue to build. This weekend could be a big help.

The ski area is currently open, with the access road also open. Roundhill is reporting a 20cm base, with the latest update published on 1 July 2026.
