Conditions

Yesterday was such a great start to the season! It was great to have people out on the trails again. It will be more of the same again today. Conditions will be soft since we got so much snow so quickly. Green, Blue, Yellow, with Second Finger and Back Orange are open. You won’t need to use your rock skis. There is good coverage through the network.

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.

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!

During the week you will need to check into our ticket window to show your confirmed email.

Click here to contact trace. This must be completed every day you come skiing!

I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying this winter wonderland! We have received a lot of snow since yesterday, once it get all groomed out it gets flatten into a compact pile. This is the stage we call building the base.

Conditions will be soft since we got so much snow so quickly. Green, Blue, Yellow, with Second Finger and Back Orange are open. You won’t need to use your rock skis. There is good coverage through the network. There is a track in for all the classic skiers out there!

Right on schedule! We said December 1 was a good day to start the season and here it is. Dont let the webcams fool you it has been snowing like crazy out there. We will get the webcams up and running as soon as possible. Its going to take some time and build up a base, so the trails arent open just yet but we are working on it. Chanse is going to wait until it starts to slow down before he tackles it. He will need to first go on the snowmobile with the roller to push all the air out of the snow before he even thinks about actually grooming it. This will likely take the full day tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Trails are in excellent shape. We have some wind today so you may find some drifts in our usual spots. Back Red, some of Woolner, and Teals Tango  may be drifty. See you on the trails!

We have been doing some snowshoe trail maintenance this week. We havent had a chance to get to the Narnia trail yet. You are welcome to snowshoe it if you are familiar with that trail, but it hasn’t had a big check like the others have. We will be getting to the rest of that trail this week. 

Fat Biking is OPEN. Trails are hard packed underneath, with some snow on top. As we get more snow the trail will get more challenging. 

We have another round of Strike Day Camp  (ages 4 to 11) on February 21.

March Break Day Camp (ages 4 to 10) will be running again this year. Contact Kelly for more information. You can also see details at the Day Camp page.

For many years we have not had trail maps to hand out, trying to keep it green. While our network has lots of trail signage & maps, we have now gone one step further. Our trail map is now available on Avenza Maps. Download the app to know where you are at all times!

We would like to introduce a dog friendly ski trail! We have a flat 3km loop out in the front field, called Teal’s Tango. All are welcome on this trail. It will be especially great for beginners. We have planted seedlings this past spring with the hope of transplanting them to this trail when they are big and strong. We are looking forward to this location being a great spot to get your dog out on the trails and for an easier learning location for new skiers!

A few rules to live by on Teal’s Tango.

• Dogs must be on leashes
• No dogs in the building please
• Pick up what your dogs leaves behind

These simple rules will help make the trail a success.
