Conditions for March 11, 2021

Our policies for RED are now updated. Please make sure you take the time to read everything before you come for a ski. Click here.

We respectfully request all our trail users follow government guidelines regarding essential travel.

A BUFF IS NOT A MASK. You need to keep a clean and dry mask to wear within 50 metres of the facility.

We have moved back into Red although we have decided to keep our policies the same as the last round of Grey. So no change to report there! We can continue to offer a limited number of shoppers in the building and have the washrooms open. Thanks for the support! Please please have a proper mask, not just a buff when visiting the property.

Its days like today where it becomes a little tricky to groom. We didn’t see the temperature drop we have been seeing, but Chanse has gone out to regroom the skate lane. Where it hasn’t been groomed there will be a crust on top. The warm last night meant we lost some base but there is still lots of snow out there! The ground frost is working our favour. People skiing last night were surprised how good it was! It will be soft right from the start of the day since it didn’t get cold. Looks like we might be seeing some rain around 2. Please respect our closing time. Open daily from 8:30 to 4:30. Open until 8 on Wednesday and Fridays for Night Skiing. 

Fat biking is closed. Once the temperatures drop again we can open back up. Very low tire pressure (8PSI or less) will be key and you can’t have tires less than 3.8 inches.

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! We have a paper copy that can be done in person as a back up.

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

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
