Conditions

We are going through another wild temperature swing. This time going up! We are at -7, by 2pm it is suppose to be plus 7. Needless to say it will be better getting out for a ski in the morning if you can.

We have some lovely powder on top but it is really firm underneath so we weren’t able to get a track in for today. Of course you can still classic ski there just isn’t a track to assist you.

Chanse has regroomed with the snowmobile and ginzue. The one thin spot to note is coming off the Back Red. Either walk down the Recreational Downhill or ski down the Teaching Hill to come home.

Skiing right now can be tricky in some sections so we are suggesting not for beginners. Otherwise it is hard to say what it is like because it is changing so quickly. I think we can safely say that it is good because it is snow, but it certainly isn’t our normal ideal for this time of year. Although people who skied yesterday said they had a fun day!

Night skiing is cancelled tonight. We don’t believe it will stay safe for night skiing.

Green, Hawberry, Quarry, Woolner Loop, and Teal’s Tango are closed.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WALKING ON THE SKI TRAILS. Walking on the trails can do lasting damage.

2:45 Update:

Classic track has been removed.

9AM Update:

Chanse is back in with a full report. The short story is there are some good parts and some not so good parts.

Here is the long story.

On some sections it went to pure ice yesterday and so today on those sections the snow that is falling is having a hard time sticking to that base. Malcolm is going to be driving around on the snowmobile with the ginzue to try and catch the snow that is fall. It is continuing to snow heavily. There are a few spots that have some derby from some trees that have fallen. We don’t think you will require rocks skis.

Coming off Back Red is a bit thin and Hawberry Loop is closed. The good news out of all of this is the downhills are holding up 🤯. The only exception to that rule is Recreational Downhill. You will need to walk down that section.

If you have some free time today and you would like to do some stick flicking that would be great!

Today is only for experienced skiers.

__________________________________________

Oh hey winter! Winter thought they would just pop back for a minute because it realized we didn’t want to be done just yet. Today will set us up nicely for the weekend.

Chanse is working his way through the trails with the Husky. We have received 10cm of snow and it continues to fall heavily. Trails will be snow covered. As you can guess yesterday did quite a bit of damage and although this is helping it is not quite fully solving the problem yet. You will find it thin around the chalet to just beyond the Sugar Shack. Up top is much better. The track starts at the top of S-Climb. The only other spot of concern we think will be coming off Look Out towards the Glacier. It will be thin so please use caution.

Admittedly it won’t be great skiing today but it will be pretty good in the coming days. But we are ready for you if you are just keen to get in some skiing today!

It will be a day of learning more as the day goes. We will update when we can on this page. Please check in at the Front Desk for all the latest information!

Green, Woolner Loop, and Teal’s Tango are closed.

PS you will noticed I didn’t put a grip wax suggestion. There is no way I am going to try and figure what is going to work with this snow and the base we had. Closest guess is a klister covered with hardwax 😋

11AM Update:

Holy cow is it awesome out there! Down by the chalet and out to the Sugar Shack certainly doesn’t make it look promising but once you are just out Rainbow Out it is a whole different world. Conditions are excellent with only the odd thin or icy spot that is easily avoided. Top of Second Finger is the worst of it. It is starting to slow down and get sticky but getting out for a Spring ski would be an excellent way to be outside today.

__________________________________________

Looks like Spring has officially arrived. I know this because my cat; Toothless (think sleek black dragon), went out on his own accord yesterday. So far trails are holding up. It is not quite the good skiing we have been having but it is not bad. It will get softer as the day goes on. It is icy around the chalet and just around the corner. Plus the Upper Stadium just before the Recreational Downhill.

There is the odd dirt spot. Mostly around the first corner as you leave the chalet, Wolf Hill, and coming off the Back Red. So far we don’t need to resort to rock skis. The coverage is holding up!

Chanse has regroomed with the snowmobile and ginzue. The Track is left in place from yesterday and is still in great shape.

Teal’s Tango & Quarry Loop are closed, with a few thin spots on Rockside off the Woolner Loop.

The Cafe is open Wednesday to Sunday. During the week from 10 to 3, and on the weekend from 10 to 4.

Well looking at the forecast we could be coming to the last hoorah. At the very least the last day of good skiing for a while. Chanse has regroomed with the Husky to chew up the firm snow. Thank the snow gods for this machine because we sure wouldn’t have had the level of quality conditions this year without it. It will be a fast groomed granular where you can get an edge and have some control. It will be best to come in the morning if you can. The big transition to softer will likely come around 11 or 12. I hope you can come out and make the most of the sunshine today!

Everyone who came in yesterday said they had a fantastic ski. They were surprised how good it was! We will have more of the same today. Skiing will be excellent. As people start to snowplow we will see our fine layer of snow get pushed off the hills and we may see some icy patches. If you don’t feel comfortable please take off you skis and walk to the SIDE of the trail. Chanse has regroomed with the Husky. The morning is going to be the best time to ski if you can. It will be fast with control in the morning and start to slow down around noon as it creeps up above zero. Come out and enjoy some spring skiing while it lasts!

Teal’s Tango & Quarry Loop are closed, with a few thin spots on Rockside off the Woolner Loop.

Trails are shaping up beautifully today. It will be a nice crisp day to be outside with the sun shining. It is slow going but Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky. The machine has chewed everything up to make fast groomed granular conditions, with the ability to get an edge and have control. It will especially be a great day for skate and skin skis. As people start to snowplow we will see our fine layer of snow get pushed off the hills and we may see some icy patches. If you don’t feel comfortable please take off you skis and walk to the SIDE of the trail. Make the most of winter while it is here!

4:30PM Update: 

A rare 2 texts in one day. It is transitioning a lot faster than anticipated, so instead of closing at the last minute Chanse is going to do a loop with the Husky on the lite trail. It will still be fast but you will be able to have more control and get an edge. Please only ski what has been groomed recently. You can always check in at the front desk to confirm what has been groomed. We expect conditions to be in much better tomorrow

8AM Update:

When it is all said and done there are some icy spots in the tracks (a good day for skins!) and the Recreational Downhill has some ice and there are a few icy patches down low. Please use some caution. Conditions are in much better shape up top.

_____________________________________

Yep, it certainly feels like Spring out there. Chanse is making a few laps around with the snowmobile and Ginzue to break up the skate land. The Track is still in place from a couple days ago and is solid. It will be an interesting day temperature wise. You will find it fast first thing and quickly slow down as the sun comes up, but then we are seeing a drop in temperature during the afternoon which will help tighten things up. We will be seeing some fast Night Skiing conditions. We recommend jumping out of the tracks when coming downhill.

Teal’s Tango is closed, with a few thin spots on Rockside off the Woolner Loop and the top of Quarry.

We will close off the lower parking the lot for the next couple of days. Please park in our upper lot.

The Cafe is open Wednesday to Sunday. During the week from 10 to 3, and on the weekend from 10 to 4.

We absolutely pride ourselves on accurate conditions post. Everything we write is coming straight from Chanse (with maybe a little extra flare). We will also be honest about how the trails are looking to ensure everyone has a good time!

Chanse was up this morning to do a couple laps on the snowmobile and ginzue. It was doing more damage than good, so we will keep machines off for today. It didn’t go below zero last night. Hovered around 1 degree all night but there was a ground frost that helped firm up the base. We have crust layer on top. It would be best to wait until it warms up a little bit and let the sun get on the trails to soften them up. It will be fast first thing and then quickly slow down as it gets warmer. Given the forecast…welcome to Spring skiing!

We will see some thin spots come through. Likely on the knuckle of the Quarry Loop and Teal’s Tango.

We have a little warm spell over the next couple of days but with our current base we should be able to make it through. Chanse has tidied up with skate lane with the ginzue and snowmobile. The track is solid and in place from yesterday. Conditions will be their best first thing when we open and likely soften up by 10 or 11. It is staying above zero for night skiing but it will likely turn a bit fast as the sun goes down.

We will close off the lower parking the lot for the next couple of days. Please park in our upper lot.
