We are officially in a RED zone. Please read the policies and procedures before you come for a ski. Click here. Know before you go! 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 a clean and dry mask for when you return from your ski. 

A little bit of fresh snow really helps freshen the trails up! We had some great helpers shovelling around the Sugar Shack yesterday so we no longer need to use the bypass. Thanks Hayden, Malcolm and Monica 💪 You are the best! There are a few icy spots down below, but once you get up top the skiing is decent. Chanse is working on getting a new track in. Its taking a bit of work to scrub the old one out. The new track will be shallow in spots, especially in the lower area. Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Millennium Loop are open! You still won’t need to use your rock skis, there is good coverage through the network. Chanse has groomed Teals Tango, and it is a bit thin in spots so it will only be open for skate skiing.

Fat biking is now open! It will be a little wet through the first part of the trail but gets better as you get up top. Trail conditions are good! We have had a little fresh snow so there may be a little bit of drifting. They will head out midmorning for a little grooming.

Rentals and lessons will officially start on December 19th! We are putting the final touches on the online booking system. But will have that up and running soon. 

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.

Note that a wet buff coming in from skiing is not an effective mask. Please keep a clean and dry mask for when you return from your ski. 

Still had some keener people out skiing yesterday and up top the conditions are pretty good! We did lose the Green Trail as well as around the Sugar Shack. There is a bypass of the Sugar Shack through the Honey hill and continuing to the S-Climb. Once you get up top the skiing isn’t too bad. Conditions will be soft today, and will be better for skate. There is a track but Chanse hasn’t been able to put in a new track, so its a bit mushy in sections. Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Millennium Loop are open! You still won’t need to use your rock skis, there is good coverage through the network. Chanse has groomed Teals Tango, and it is a bit thin in spots.

8:30AM Update!

Now that Chanse is done grooming we have an update. Please hold off on skiing until 10am. We did lose the Green Trail as well as around the Sugar Shack, and he didn’t groom Teals Tango. Again we are suggesting no beginners today. Today there is a bypass of the Sugar Shack and continuing to the S-Climb. Once you get up top the skiing isn’t too bad. Conditions will be soft today.

WE WILL DO ANOTHER UPDATE AT 9 TO SEE HOW IT LOOKS ONCE CHANSE IS DONE GROOMING…

Well folks that we was a seriously unpleasant day weather-wise. There were still some keeners out there skiing which was great to see. If you can believe it the trails made it through the night! There was a lot of rain and got up to 9 degrees🤦🏻‍♀️. The temperature didn’t start dropping until 1AM so the trails need some time to tighten up. We are suggesting people hold their skiing off until 10AM, to let the trails firm up a little. Although it will likely still be soft and slushy in spots. It seems like we actually didn’t lose too much snow up top. There is a thin spot at the Sugar Shack and Hawberry. But you should be able to step around it to still use your good skis. Skate skiing will probably be better today. This is not a day of beginners. PLEASE DO NOT walk on the ski trails. Even with snowshoes you can leave a lot of damage. Please only snowshoe on the snowshoe trails. You know what they say happy groomer, happy life. We need to keep Chanse happy, and holes in his skis trails do not make him happy. Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Millennium Loop are open! You still won’t need to use your rock skis, there is good coverage through the network.

Since weather is questionable this weekend we are going to hold off on lessons and rentals this weekend. Please be patient with us! We are moving into Red on Monday so we do need to figure out some logistics to make sure everything can run smoothly and safely. 

Remember to please respect opening hours. The trails open at 8:30 in the morning, we ask people to start coming off the trails at 4:30 so we are close up the building at 5. We plan to start the night skiing in the New Year. 

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. 

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. 

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.

Prepare yourself for a seriously weird day. It would be nice if the temperature and winds stayed in our favour but I am not sure if we will have much luck. They are calling for freezing rain most of morning. No great for driving or scraping cars but it is better for the trails since freezing rain will accumulate. Then we switch to rain around noon 😕. Saying all that Chanse says “things arent too bad out there”. The trails are holding up! He didn’t put a new track in as it would get too mushy but the track from Thursday is holding on. Trails will be soft, but skiers were coming back happy yesterday. Maybe we are getting the Spring skiing now we missed in March 🤔. PLEASE DO NOT walk on the ski trails. Even with snowshoes you can leave a lot of damage. Please only snowshoe on the snowshoe trails. You know what they say happy groomer, happy life. We need to keep Chanse happy, and holes in his skis trails do not make him happy. Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Millennium Loop and Teals Tango are open!

At the start of the day it will be a fast groomed granular. It got below zero last night and firmed things up. As the day warms up it will get soft. It is the same track as yesterday and we will be sticking with some good olde klister skiing today. We think the downhills will be fine and won’t get icy as people snowplow. If anyone has an in with Mother Nature to sort out the mess coming on Saturday please let me know 😬 Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Millennium Loop and Teals Tango are open! You won’t need to use your rock skis, there is good coverage through the network.

We have moved into some granular conditions, that Chanse is working to clean up. With the warm wind yesterday it sucked up some of the base. It is Klister skiing today; our favourite and everyones favourite! The trails are holding up but the skiing won’t be as nice has it has been for the last week or so. We think the downhills will be fine and won’t get icy as people snowplow. Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Millennium Loop and Teals Tango are open!

The snow is a little wet and sticky today. It is a great day to use waxless skis or skins for the classic skiers. Use some liquid glide to help push away the moisture in the snow so the snow doesn’t clump underfoot. Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Millennium Loop and Teals Tango are open!
