- Warm up your ski legs on your first day of arrival with a half day afternoon at Mt Norquay.
- Head up to Mt Norquay for an evening of night skiing! (Note, extra fees may apply).
- Ski at more than one resort on the same day (SkiBig3 Lift Ticket holders can ski up to three resorts in one day at no extra cost).
