Conditions

YeeHaw! Here we go!

Finally a little luck our way with 22cm of fresh snow. Now keep in mind that this is the start of our base building so that 22cm squishes down to a minimal base but it is certainly a great place to start. Chanse has been out on the snowmobile rolling (picture a giant rolling pin) to help pack down the snow, and then he used the pan to help flatten things as much as possible.

We have Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Teal’s Tango are open for rock skiing*.

Conditions will be soft. There isn’t much snow to snow plow on downhill be ready to head straight down! Coming off Ridge Top road allowance is a challenging section.

For day users trail tickets are $20.

Rock skiing is typical early season skiing when we don’t quite have the base for full coverage on the trails. This is not a time for beginners or for people who aren’t as comfortable on their skis. Rock skiing is experienced skiers only and we suggest using a set of skis that you don’t mind getting scratches on.

No lessons or rentals are available at this time.

We are waiting for more snow to fall at this point. May other parts of Ontario got slammed with snow! We weren’t so lucky. Let’s go Mother Nature!

It is that time of year again! We are gearing up for another season and the forecast seems to be working in our favour ☃️

Stay tuned for updates here as we see how much snow arrives.

This was a fun little addition to the season!

The warm temperatures and sun it has soaked up a good amount of the snow we received. So once again we are signing off for the season.
Thanks to everyone for the memorable season!

Although we recognize that it wasn’t the best season, we worked hard to provide the best conditions we could this year. Remarkably we had the best snow in Ontario this winter. Even better than Thunder Bay! With that in mind, we will be holding our Season’s Pass rates for the 3rd season in a row. Buy your Season’s Pass before April 30 and received 20% off.

With only a light dusting of snow arriving overnight and such a thin base underneath, Chanse is out doing a quick cleanup with the ginzue, trying to keep things in shape for us. The track set yesterday will be left alone.

March sun is glorious for our disposition but wreaks havoc with snow. Moisture is starting to bleed through the base in spots and the sun can change conditions quickly through the day. As it gets warm over the next couple of days, it won’t last long out there with such a minimal base! If there’s any lesson we learned this winter, it’s enjoy it while you can!

Our 8km trail (Yellow to Second Finger and Back Orange) will be open today from 9-4. Our reduced network price is $20. Late season snow is not for beginners. These are rock ski conditions. No rentals are available and the cafe is closed.

As the cats are away, we continue to play! Proshop and Trails will be open 9-4 today. Come for a spring ski!

Malcolm headed out early on the snowmobile with the ginzue and is reporting amazingly good conditions given the time of year! The icy and thin spots from Thu/Fri are now solid and filled in with the the snowfall over the past 24 hours. It is still a bit roll-y, typical of new snow and thin-base conditions that haven’t been tilled. The best news for classic lovers is that there is now a track set on our 8km loop. It is still the Yellow Trail with 2nd Finger and Back Orange that are open – now groomed for both skate and classic.

Please keep in mind that late season snow is not for beginners. We are still recommending rock skis. No rentals will be available and the cafe is closed. Trails and Proshop are open 9-4pm today. Our reduced network price for a trail ticket today is $20.

Things are looking very snowy here at Highlands, with more of the fluffy stuff forecasted to fall today.
In an effort to preserve the snow we received, trails have not been re-groomed today. Snow is hardpacked and will soften as the day goes on. There are a few thin spots on Rainbow Out and the Recreational downhill, rock skis are recommended.
Yellow loop and Back Orange are open, all other trails are closed. Pro-shop and trails open from 9am-4pm, and the cafe is closed.

While the cats are gone away the mice come out to play!
Of course winter has decided to make a reappearance right when our groomer goes away.. sigh. But fear not, Malcom came to the rescue and has rolled and panned 8km of trail for you to enjoy!
The Yellow trail with the 2nd finger, and Back Orange are open, all other trails are closed. It’s a little icy on Rainbow out, please keep in mind late season snow is not for beginners, and we are recommending rock skis. There are thin spots throughout the network and trails are not completely flat, with a small amount of base. No rentals will be available, and the cafe is closed. Pro-shop & trails open from 9am-4pm.

Well my friends it have been a slice…a skinny slice but a slice nonetheless. The snow we received on Thursday is gone. With warm temperatures, wind and rain we are going to have to close the trails. Unless there is a major dump of snow we are closed for the season. We have lost our base in most spots. This was not how we were hoping to end the season but it is out of our control! Thanks to everyone for their support.
