Q: Will it be good weather this weekend ? |
A: Well … We are no meteorologists and can’t predict the weather. The forecasts on certain weather webs are never accurate. Also, many people always assume that if it rains in Singapore means it’s the same over in Batam. We find it amazing how can someone think that way for a destination 30 km away. All we can say is we’re blessed with good weather most of the time. |
Q: What happens if it rains ? |
A: The ski sessions will still go on even if it rains. We will only pause if there's lightning & thunder. Our advice is : Don't let the weather bother you if you're ready to have some fun ...

Q: Is it safe in Batam ? Is our safety guaranteed ? |
A: The Ski Park is situated in Waterfront City where its well secured. Patrol officers are constantly on the move. It’s the safest part of Batam away from the town area.
