Thank you all for coming to Hlíðarfjall

Thank you all for coming to Hlíðarfjall this winter break! We truly appreciate your support and enthusiasm, especially during what has been a very unusual season for us.

For the first time, we were on the verge of not being able to open for the winter break due to an extreme lack of snow. This was a challenge we had never faced before. However, our team worked tirelessly to ensure the slopes remained skiable. We redistributed snow across the mountain, focusing on maintaining our most important slopes, recently our snow grooming team managed to create skiable conditions also in both Norðurbakki and Suðurbakki.

To improve the experience for everyone, we implemented a slot system to manage the number of skiers on the mountain at any given time. This helped us spread visitors evenly throughout the day, reducing congestion and keeping lift lines in the lower areas shorter. We are incredibly grateful for your patience and cooperation. You’re understanding and willingness to adapt made a huge difference, and because of that, everyone was able to enjoy those days with us.

Looking ahead, based on data from previous years, we anticipate a decrease in visitor numbers in the coming days. As a result, the slot system will no longer be necessary during the weekdays, and we hope it will not be needed for the upcoming weekends either. Additionally, the weather forecast looks promising, with temperatures expected to stay below freezing. This means we can resume snowmaking operations, and we are also expecting some natural snowfall, which will further improve conditions on the slopes.

Starting Monday, February 24th, we will return to regular operations. This means all ticket types, including season passes, will be available for purchase again. Tickets will be available online starting this afternoon.

Once again, thank you for being a part of this winter break at Hlíðarfjall. Your support, patience, and positive attitude have made a difficult season much more enjoyable for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you back to the slopes soon!

Best regards,
The Hlíðarfjall Team
