Our policies for RED are now updated. Please make sure you take the time to read everything before you come for a ski.Β Click here.
We respectfully request all our trail users follow government guidelines regarding essential travel.
Big news of the day is that we are heading back into Grey as of Monday March 1st. Our trails will be able to remain open, but itΒ does mean the building will be limited again. The main thing will be the building will only be open for washroom use. All Service and ProShop items will be done Trackside and MUST be ordered in advance.
Today will all about timing. Make sure to get out for your ski early thisΒ morning. It is going to be very good skiing first thing. By noon it will be getting soft. There is a 30% chance of rain starting at 1, but itsΒ possibleΒ it might hold off until the very end of the day. Fingers crossed! Chanse has regroomed everything. It will be fastΒ in the Β morning andΒ slowing down in the afternoon.Β Please respect our closing time. Open daily from 8:30 to 4:30. OpenΒ until 8 on Wednesday and Fridays for Night Skiing.Β
Fat biking is open. If you areΒ getting out for a ride today make sure to come in the morning. We will close the trails in the afternoon (1pm) as riding in the soft and wet conditions can do a lot of damage to the trails. Trails will be quite good in the morning and but would just downright suck my mid afternoon. Pun intended…the trails would literally suck you in. Β Very low tire pressure (8PSI or less) will be key and youΒ canβt have tires less than 3.8 inches.
We have been saying it for a while now but we will be cracking down even moreβ¦A BUFF IS NOT A MASK. Please keep a clean and dry mask to wear within 50 metres of the facility.
Contact Tracing and Active Screening must be done the for everyone coming onto the property the day they will be visiting.Β You cannot do this the night before.Β 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!Β We have a paper copy that can be done in person as a back up.
Click here to contact trace.Β This must be completed every day you come skiing!

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.Β Send you cell phone number to ski@highlandsnordic.ca
