We had another little bit of very fluffy snow yesterday, but didn’t get enough to re-open trails, yet.  At this time our ski trails remain closed.  The forecast is looking promising for this week, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that we get the snow that is forecast!

Fat biking conditions are good, with very favourable reports coming in from those who rode this past weekend.  We do have bikes available to rent, so come out and give that a try.  Call ahead to guarantee a bike will be available for you.

We are still waiting on Mother Nature to provide enough new snow to allow us to reopen the ski trails, so please, any ‘influencers’ out there, work your magic!

While we have had a little bit of snow over the past 36 hours, and slightly colder temperatures, we are still not in a position to reopen our ski trails.  Fatbiking trails are open and, despite the lack of much snow, are firm and fun to ride right now.

Well we’ve started into a cooling trend, with hopefully consistent sub-zero temperatures through the weekend, and snow in the forecast!

All trails, skiing, fat biking, and snowshoeing, will remain closed today so that we can preserve the base that remains.

Come and do the SNOW DANCE tonight at 6PM.  We are looking for willing dancers of all ages (no experience necessary!) to join dance instructor Melissa James as she teaches us a few basic steps. The outcome of this fun, family friendly, event will be a choreographed dance routine that is sure to make that ‘white gold’ fall from the sky.  Enjoy a bonfire and some social time afterwards as well.

8am Update: use the Teaching Hill to return back to the Chalet.

The trails are holding up even after these warm sunny days. We are starting to see a few more thin spots that had more sun exposure. The downhills are continuing to hold up but if you want to use the S-Climb Bypass to come back to the Chalet that is an option. That can be found at the bottom of the First Finger just before Millennium Loop. Once at the bottom of the S-Climb follow the Green trail home.
The main thin spots are around the Sugar Shack, Hawberry Loop and the Millennium uphill. Stick to the left coming down from Larry’s Glacier. There is a small rock there. There is also a pilon cover a rock on the Recreational Downhill.
Chanse has done around with the snowmobile to tidy yesterdays traffic with the pan. Blue, Yellow, Orange Trail and Millennium Loop are open.
$15 trail passes
Have you planned your Wednesday and Friday evening this week? On Wednesday we have our snow dance class and Friday its chili night! That the opportunity to snowshoe, fat bike or hopefully ski 🤞 until 8 those evenings as well.
Email ski@highlandsnordic.ca reserve your spot.

The reports coming in yesterday said the skiing was pretty good! Yes there are some thin spots to keep and eye out for especially around Sugar Shack and with such a small base it is just like early season November skiing. But up top the snow is much better. The downhills did hold up yesterday but if you want to use the S-Climb Bypass to come back to the Chalet that is an option. That can be found at the bottom of the First Finger just before Millennium Loop. Once at the bottom of the S-Climb follow the Green trail home.

10:30 Update
We are continuing to get an unexpected light snow falling. Trails will be slightly snow-covered. It is a chilly day at -10 but there is no wind, so with proper layers in the trees it is going to be a dream. Chanse was able to get a track in some spots that still had the snow that held on. Use caution on the downhills. The S-Climb Bypass can be used to come back to the Chalet from the upper network instead of the Hairpin. That is at the bottom of the First Finger just before Millennium Loop. Once at the bottom of the S-Climb follow the Green trail home.
____________________________________
We have had some white gold fall out of the sky over night! Finally just enough to get the ball rolling again.
Chanse is first rolling the trails and then will take the pan out to smooth it. Where its good it’s really good but there are some thin spots and would be considered rock skiing. There isn’t quite enough to put a track in yet. Orange Trail and Millennium Loop are open.
