Going to check the CF fridge out as I've not yet been, for you regulars I'm just wondering what times are least busy? As a crammed slope is never great. Looking at going both weekdays off peak and weekends sometime
Cheers in advance |

| Early doors is always good, when the kids are in school obviously... If you can get there for 9 you will be fine and have a pretty empty slope. |

| I take it that's through the week, how about at the weekends I'd guess it's quite busy in the afternoons so try and avoid that? |

Theres a few on here who hit the early opening on a Wednesday morning from 7.30.
Really quiet - you dont have to go through the turnstyles until 9am so its free flowing.
Also, they do try to get a couple of features open to hit as well!
Otherwise - Sunday 9-10 is usually pretty quiet.
Although were heading into the season now so its all getting a bit busier !!! |

| I think if its weekend, as early as possible. As Pedderz says though, when you get into the season, its just busier. |

gotta watch some weekend mornings tho - quite often there's ski racing events or practice, which cuts the slope in 1/2.
weekends early morning quiet and smooth (but can be ski racing, check CFe's events webpage)
weekend daytime can be quite busy, especially mid-arvo.
weekend evenings/nights (after 7pm) usually quiet (certainly sun nights 8-10pm) but the slope can be quite choppy, especially if there's been ski racing in the morning... Depending if you're a learner or a jibber wanting moguls to spin off it's a good or bad thing  |

| Choppy is good, Sunday 9pmish after its been smashed all day there will be playfull mounds of snow everywhere, just watch out for the sheets of ice! First thing in the morning is really good too, get there when the doors open and have the slope groomed just for you. It's amazing how fast it can be when it's in perfect condition. Any other time through Xmas expect massive queues and lots of stop start on the lift. |

| I go for midweek starts at 09:00 and avoid school holidays. There's usually less than 20 on the whole slope and sometimes they don't run the barriers until 10:00 |

As others have said, check the events for weendends.
Ive not been on sunday mornings but first thing saturdays can often give you a good couple of hours, and the last bank holiday monday was good - ended up staying on all morning!
From thinking back to last summer, last thing is always good as well 9-11pm should give you some decent laps but depending on what has been on all day the slop could be a bit icy down the middle but fun aplenty down either side. |

| weeknights 9.30 onwards tend to be the quietest time in the winter, usually a bit busier if there's a park on thursday/friday. |

| Both lifts were working when I was there yesterday lol. I was expecting it to be quieter at 12.30 on a Friday, there were still some kids there (WTF!?!? My tax dollars paying for these scrotes education and they arent even going!?!?) and quite a lot of folk kicking about. Big thanks go out to the bloke who turned up with 2 kids and then started giving them a skiing lesson which involved his inept son and daughter snaking the whole course at a snails pace! |
