Park is OPEN - 10am - 7pm*

We have a delayed trail opening due to the high winds on Sunday (including the uphill walking trail), which requires every trail to be swept before we can reopen them. We expect to have some trails open by 11am, with more opening throughout the day. The chairlift will be running from 10am for sightseers only until trails begin reopening.

*Night Ride is on! Make sure to bring a bike light (minimum 300 lumens) from 5pm onwards to be able to load the chairlift with your bike.

Forecast: Cloudy with a few showers, becoming confined to Banks Peninsula this morning. Southwesterlies.

Please always keep the following in mind when riding at CAP:
All morning website updates will be posted 30 minutes prior to opening times.
For the safety of everyone, please respect all trail closures.
Trails are closed for a reason (weather, maintenance, contractor work, or other safety reasons), and riding a closed trail puts you and others at risk.
If you see a closed trails, choose an open trail instead to keep you, the community and our crew safe.
