Conditions for December 6, 2020

It is the first weekend open and it has been an active one. We ask that everyone is patient! We are putting policies and procedures into place that are new for everyone! That means us too! We want to ensure that everything is done effectively but most importantly safely. 

Make sure you read our COVID Winter Policies before attending. Please note for right now we won’t be offering lessons or rentals. We need to get ourselves a little more organized. It is not as straight forward this year! Remember we ask you use your vehicle as your base and do not leave bags in the building. Please limit your time inside to 15 minutes. 

You MUST wear a mask while in the building. Note that a wet buff coming in from skiing is not an effective mask. Please keep one handy when you go out for a ski for your return.

We know there are a couple of tweeks we need to figure out with the contact tracing. Please be patient with us as we work through it. It is a new system for everyone, and we may be to figure out a few things as we go. We have a back up paper copy as an option as well. 

Contact Tracing and Active Screening must be done the for everyone coming onto the property the day they will be visiting. You cannot do this the night before. You can complete a form online. We request that you complete this before you show up. Note that cell service may not be good enough to do this onsite. Once the screening and tracing is complete you will receive an email that you will need to show at our health check station before you can head out to ski. Take a screen shot of your contact tracing so it is easy to find once you arrive! If the email you receive has comes back red, it mean you have answered YES to one of the screen questions. In that case you are NOT able to ski at our location that day. If the email you receive comes back green, we will see you on the trails shortly!

Click here to contact trace. This must be completed every day you come skiing!

Ok ok ok I know, lets talk conditions…

Last night even I dragged my butt out for a ski and I will tell you it was so worth it! Conditions are awesome! It feels like January out there. We got a fresh dusting of snow to make everything look extra nice. The base has settled nicely and is good for both classic and skate. Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Millennium Loop and Teals Tango are open! You won’t need to use your rock skis. Hawberry loop has some rollers in it, but there is good coverage through the network.

Our conditions texting update program is back! We update the conditions page every morning, but sometimes things change through the day. With this program updates will come directly to you as a text. No app download required. Your phone number will not be shared. These updates are not to replace checking the conditions page, but to update you on changes through the day. Send you cell phone number to ski@highlandsnordic.ca
